I checked the part numbers on the bag and the part numbers given on bus depot.com and they're one and the same. The only difference is the width. My guess is that this style seal is the preferred spare. Unless anyone has thoughts to the contrary, my plan is to press the new seal into the adjusting ring until it's flush and call it good. Comments welcome.

I think the seal you have is for the rear wheel bearings.

Ok, I got the right side Drive Flange off with little or no drama. Now I'm faced with obtaining the correct seal. What I have in hand is a 211 501 317 seal I purchased some time ago from my FLAPS. ID & OD seem correct but it's only half the width. The new one is 7mm thick while the old one is 15.5mm. The original seal has 091 301 189B on it.
Any ideas on where I can get something that more closely resembles the original?
Thanks.
