I recently pruchased from TRF a set of bearing seals for the rear hub on my TR4 
A,   the inner seals they sent were rubber the outers were leather.  I called 
and mentioned that I would have prefered a set of all rubber seals. The 
response was.  "Why?  the leather seal is a better seal"

I am going to use a synthetic grease in the hubs 
Thanks
