I went into the local bearing supply's joint with my old seals and bearings. they matched them all perfectly.
was somewhere around $280 for complete "kit" of 6? seals and 8? bearings (dont any smart ass's jump up and tell me I got ripped cause I dont wanna hear it)
and another couple of hours of beers, swearing at retainers and stinky diff hands

You do the hard work for the rest of us please.
Try bearing shop in Kembla St, I think it was Glen, they have been helpful in the past, and mention 4x4 club, helps with 'trade' price,
AND when you have found the replacement parts, let me know.
Also, use grease when you refill swivels, leaks slower!

yeah cbc or tractor replacements will have all the seals and bearings in stock would only need wiper seals from landrover. was hopeing just to get it all in a cheap kit like they do for the jap stuff. shits hit the fan on the home front at the moment so it may be a few weeks to get it sorted
