Canadian Timken differential

More pics for parts identification and the bearing list
The brass plate and adjusting bolt it for ring gear side loading
Front pinion bearing cover and seal
Rear pinion shaft bearing retainer and locking plate (three hole triangle plate)
Carrier bearing adjusting ring and retainer/lock tab
Carrier bearings and race numbers - Timken 44150 and 44348
Pinion bearings and races Timken 377 and 3720
Steady bearing on rear of input shaft is a Hyatt 7203 with OR305
Outer axels bearings and races (X4 each) Timken 385 and 383
Outer Axel seals I found a 55mm by 85mm rubberized seal which I used a wire wheel on to remove the outer rubber, then used Loctite Retaining compound to help set the seals (they rotated in the housings once the rubber was removed but I would have destroyed the seals had I not removed it first)
Input shaft seal I don't have numbers for, I found a seal that was perfect in my stash of parts, it was possibly for a trailer axel hub or ?
Pumpkin assembly installed followed by pic with rear support plate installed
Axel with new bearings
Looks like someone had fun somewhere in the past with this axel
I set the pinion to ring gear backlash to 4-5 thousandths and rolling spec on the pinion bearings to 30-35 in/lbs with similar on carrier bearings. The Dykes manual I have for reference only tells how to adjust the bearings and the wording suggests that this is to adjust worn bearings, not initial setting up. I believe I will be safe with these adjustments.
And thanks Stakebed
