One dispenses with the cup, washer and circlip - it it glued in place.
The other simply presses inside the cup, in place of the felt seal.
Can't remember which of the sizes I used but in my "heavy" axle, July 1937 onwards, there was what appeared to be a ring pressed into the casting and the seal pressed into that.
A TIP....one of our Scimitar club knowledgable engineering developers tips that when fitting get a rag soaked with Molyslip and rub well into the lip area. This goes for any seal in any position (even seals round disk break pistons).
