That's the correct seal number.
Last year, I replaced the steering box seal on my FFPW. Both NAPA and the local bearing house said that the main SKF warehouse only had one seal left in stock, which I got.
The guy at the bearing house thought that the seal may be obsolete and that was the reason there were not more available.
If you do find the seal, it is the closest metric equivalent and fits loosely in the steering box housing. The seal around the shaft feels about right. I wrapped a couple turns of Teflon tape around the circumference of the seal to snug it up. So far, it's working fine.
There's probably better ways to do it and maybe someone can offer a suggestion.
