Hi Maurice,
The seal Lynn showed is as on the Ford axle used in a Carrier and there are no inboard seals on the halfshafts, so this seal on the hub nut lockplate is to stop the oil getting in to the grease and diluting it. The British Fords had a mechanical seal, as Lynn described, a sprung steel ring around the plate.
regards Richard
