We have the grease seal part # RG06-010 which is a pair of seals that match the dimensions you listed. This has an inner diameter of 1.249 and an outer diameter of 1.983 and will work great for you regardless of the thickness difference.

The thickness of the seal on these hubs is not as important as long as you can tap it into the hub so it is flush with the backside of the hub bore.
