Unhappy Front axle questions

Ok guys, please don't get upset if I use the wrong terminology. This weekend, I replaced all 4 ball joints, everything from pitman arm down to tie rod ends, axle u-joints, and am in the process of replacing the axle seals.
Here's where my questions come in. I believe my front axle is a Dana 60. The way I see it, there are 2 seals on each side. There is one between the axle housing and axle shaft, then there is one between the "spindle shaft" and whatever the next piece is called. I got the outer seals, the ones one the part I'm calling the spindle for lack of the correct word. But I'm having trouble getting the seal for the axle shaft and housing.

Does anyone have a part number? I've been without my truck since Thursday and I'm ready to have it back.

Are you talking about the ones inside the diff, or the ones out on the end of the axle tube, right behind the axle joint?

The ones at the end of the axle tube. I know they are a little smaller than the ones one other side of the yoke.

This is the only place I could find that had them when I did mine. 50492 Spicer Dana 60 Outer Axle Tube Seal

They are just dust seals. If you have gear oil coming out the end of the axle tube, then the axle seals inside the diff need replaced.

Nothing leaking. It's just that when I pulled the axles, the seals were in 2 pieces

Every parts store I tried kept giving me the wrong ones, but we don't have a CarQuest here.
