Alistair, you might note the axles with nuts both ends, which are not shown in Chilwell 63/73 Loyd Carrier workshop manual (First edition April 1944)

The picture of the rear bogie comes from the first U.C.MkI* parts book (June 1941)
TL 95 (Canadian part) has remained the same.
TL 19 is the cork (or felt) seal, and TL 22 is the seal track.

I'm inclined to disagree with Rob. I think the cork seal worked well. However I know exactly what he means about the wear.
I believe this happens as a result of old dried out, shrunk cork seals.
I have pulled used wheels apart and often found perfect bearings.
I have also found some rather worn seal tracks. I think these were a bit average from new, some being made from seamed tube with the weld a bit lacking.
Early axles = a forging to make the head. later 2 nut axles = just a quick machining operation , cut from bar stock.= easier and cheaper to make.
Not Loyd specific, just a better idea introduced later.
