ARB carrier bearing confusion

I am about to replace the carrier bearings on the ARB in my C8.25 on a 1998 XJ. I ordered the bearings and some new seal-housing o-rings, but the bearings I received have different ODs.

The races are lm603012 and lm102910. The manual for the locker https://www.arb.com.au/assets/air-lockers/2-RD93.pdf says it uses the lm102910. Parts lists for the 8.25 say it is the other one https://www.ringpinion.com/b2c/ProductDetails.aspx?ProdID=10925. I know some ARB lockers use a special bearing on the side with the seal housing, but the OD should be the same shouldn't it?

I want to have all the right parts before I tear into it. Does anyone know which bearings are correct?
 
Both bearings were correct. The seal-housing has a recess to hold the smaller bearing.

And the nasty grinding noise is gone.
