Default Rear differential pinion seal

Okay so im getting ready to replace the pinion seal on the rear diff in my 95 cherokee. However my question is, i know I have a dana 35c rear end but im not sure exactly which seal I should purchase. Would this one be the correct seal?

Or is it this one?

I don't know exactly which kne but if they are listing two. I'd buy both and return the one you didn't use

Same part ! One has a lip on it the other doesn't.
The first one with lip would be easier to install if you have never done it it has more area to smack it in to seat it.

How bad is it leaking? This axle uses a crush sleeve for pinion preload. To measure it correctly the axle shafts must be removed. Sadly I have seen guys do more damage than good when changing these seals.
