Can't see the pic, but I can tell you that the Aussie rear caps are the same.
We built em with rope seals, but when they get rebuilt we just push the locating pin out and seal up the tiny hole so the rubber seal fits straight in.
Are you sure you didn't get a 400 C rear cap ??
as they had bigger 3" bearings as well.
