Do the lower unit seals I got fit my J70TLCRD?

I received 4 seals in a 5000309 kit I bought for the lower unit in my J70TLCRD. Two of the seals appear to be for the drive shaft. They are just like the ones I pulled from my drive shaft bearing housing. The other two seals are single "double lip" seals. One of the two appears to be the size of the driveshaft, and the other appears to be the size of the propeller bearing housing. Will these single double lip seals fit the drive shaft and the propeller bearing housing? Or do I need to order two "back to back" seals 0330137 for the propeller bearing housing?
 
Nothing to do with the lips wearing out.----I believe the back to back " metal housing " seals stay in position.----At least in cold weather they do !!----I believe either type is easy to install too.
 
If its the new style(like below pic) this supersedes the old seals and it takes a special tool to install....

Often a trip to a plumbing supply place will get you a piece of pipe to install that type of seal.-----I prefer seals with metal housings as they are not affected by age and temperature like rubber coated seals.
 
In my kit 5000309 I got two metal back to back seals that fit the drive shaft, and another rubber coated double lip seal that would be drive shaft size. I also got a rubber coated seal that is propeller shaft size. From this discussion I am going to buy two metal back to back seals for the propeller shaft 0330137. Thanks.
