Take note of group 12.0341 Seal - Shaft Nut Oil . . . 22 -54 series, several part number to accommodate several axle thread diameters. Is that the one? I noticed that there is no listing for my '48 chassis 2211, but there is a listing for my '54 chassis 5402. Is this a 'senior' thing ???

Now for a technical interlude. What force would push grease down a decreasing radius bore, surely not while rotating? That leaves the possibility of dripping down the keyway at rest, and then past the washer interface once the car is underway again. Not sure the part is necessary, but if it is supposed to be there so be it.

Tongue in cheek . . . from the parts listing one would conclude junior cars don't leak ??? My '48 must be the exception to the rule!
