The "O" was introduced during 100/6 production around the time of the move
to Abingdon.
There were actually 2 different sizes of them with the later style being
larger as I recall.
Moss only shows one part number ...675-430 although the factory parts books
show 2 which are presumably the different sizes.

Depends on the rear axle. Early ones had no groove for an o-ring -- just
used the paper gasket. Later ones had the groove and used the ring. The
o-ring is a part common to Land Rovers by the way.

It's been noted that some of the aftermarket paper gaskets may be too 
thick, preventing the spacer ring from putting sufficient pressure on 
the bearing outer race to clamp it down. This can allow the bearing to 
spin in the hub; not a good thing.

I'm not going to mention the source; he was active on this list and a 
forum but I haven't seen anything from him in a while. Anyway, something 
to consider; some prefer to use just a sealant with the O-ring.
