Mystery SYE Kit Seal

Good Morning Y'all!
I'm having a difficult time sourcing a replacement seal for what I have been told is a Currie Slip Yoke Eliminator Kit for an NP242.
Frankly I can't find any evidence online*that this kit was ever made by Currie, but that it's possible it was made for Teraflex by them?
It looks like a hack n tap style*based on the bearing retainer*bolted to the stock tail housing, but the cut on the shaft looks very clean, maybe even machined.
The only identifying marks on the kit are on the double wall nitrile seal lip "ROC TCM 168263 VH".
Google searches turn up nothing.
The seal is 1.7-in. I.D. 2.630-in O.D. and I haven't removed it to measure the thickness*exactly but it's nearly 1-in thick!
This thing is weird and hard to find, and any help*would be appreciated!

Also see if you can pull the part # off the old seal.
 
Yep, that number 168263 works for me!

Googled TCM 168263
Any chance this is it?

I see this happen at the store a lot.
Guy walks in with a seal that you can't look up in the computer.
That is when they break out the caliper to measure and use the books to try and match.

That has the right inner and outer diameters, but the seal I have is double walled and nearly 1 inch thick. I've searched for the dimensions and found a couple of options similar to what you've linked but none as thick. Maybe if I double them up and install them back to back? Ha ha.

I tried. LOL.
I tried to cross it at the Napa website. Sometimes things do but not this time.
But at the store they might have better luck cause they can put in the line code for seals when trying to cross.
In this case SKF.

Well that's embarrassing. Can't seem to figure out direct linking photos, but if you copy and paste the links they go right to them.
 
Well, for internet posterity I found out it's a 20 year old Teraflex kit and uses TWO stacked seals, National Seal 440265, NAPA 16811. Until I had a solid answer I was unwilling to knock out and destroy the weepy seal, thereby making my transfer case unusable, but when I did both seals came out at a thickness of roughly 0.35"
Appreciate the help!
