My Haynes manual shows (in a crappy exploded view) from the retainer inward:
1. Bearing Retainer (paper gasket available for this)
2. Bearing
3. Retainer Ring
4. Seal (pressed into axle housing tube)

I suspect that this is a small bearing or old style big bearing 9". Both of my '77's have tapered roller bearings which coincide with 199?XJ's assembly sequence. The funky looking seal mates with the outside surface of the bearing inside the bearing retainer plate.
