Help with wheel seal parts-similar to Bearcats question

Hi all. I have a 50 rear half with 52 engine. Having a hard time figuring out what wheel seals i need. Read different things about when seal changes were made. I'd like to update to the style that is grease only if I don't have that now. Right side was leaking oil into the brakes so I'm not sure. If anyone could help with proper part #s and letting me know if an update is available i would greatly appreciate it. Everything is already apart as I'm working on a full overhaul and rebuild. First go with 1 of these tractors though
 
Thanks rusty. Sure seal may have been some of my confusion. Beyond that I have the manual but im just not clear about it. Ford collectors site says 50-52 is the same parts. FO4 says there is a change at 486 serial number which would be in 52 I believe. So there is no option to isolate to grease only on the 8n? When the book says to grease pack the bearing thats just for initial lube but oil will always get to the outer seal? Thanks to all you guys for the info and knowledge you give to others.
 
Thanks duner. I've already purchased 2 grand in parts from this site. I figured I would support them because of this forum. I called them to ask for help. Guy i spoke to had no idea what I would need. Asked me for part numbers that I called him to get, then said to post my question here to see what I would need.
 

The trumpets will determine the end result... You can not put the inner seal used on the late set up in the early trumpets...
