That bearing is used when the axle is damaged where the stock wheel bearing rides.
It moves the bearing contact point to a little to one side, letting the new bearing to ride on a fresh surface.
The part number for the bearing is Timken/NAPA/SKF/Koyo R1559TV and the seal is Timken/Yukon 8835. The seal should also be available as NAPA/SKF/CR 16404. You can buy them as a kit such as below:

The last couple of times I've purchased Timken or NAPA (SKF) bearings for this application, the boxes have had Koyo (Made in Japan) bearings. Koyo is a great bearing manufacturer. I would shop by price from any of the above and not get hung up over trying to get the Timken brand. I've used Timken, NAPA/SKF/CR and Yukon seals and prefer the NAPA/SKF/CR and Yukon seals over the Timken!
