Is Grease Seal 58846 Double Lip

Question

Question:

Are the Grease Seals #58846 Double Lip? I saw on one of the questions that they were described as single lip and that the #RG06-050 was recommended because they were double lip. I just purchased AKIHUB-545-35-G-EZ-K Hub Assembly and I noticed it comes with #58846. Just wondering if I need to replace those seals with the Double Lip seals or if the #58846 are Double Lip? Thanks!
