Rear end seals

So, sending the differential out to be sandblasted, and I want to fix all the leaks after I paint it before I put it back in the car. The pinion seal and axle seals are clearly leaking.

- Are these all obscure, or should I be able to match it up with a modern seal at a local parts store? I thought I'd ask now in case I need to order anything.

- How does the third member seal to the differential housing? Is it a cork gasket or something else? Also, do the axles shafts just pull out, or are there c-clips in the spider gears?

- Final question: how available is the pinion crush sleeve?

Thanks!
