Live axle oil seal
When dismantling my rear axle last night, I noticed a very thin seal sat on the bearing, not attached to anything. I saw these on both sides (althugh
one side was broken). To the best of my knowledge the only oil seal is the one recessed into the bearing. Can anyone enlighten me as to what it could
be, do I need it, and if so, where on earth do I get a new one from?

Just had a look at my (haynes)restoration manual (cos i couldn't remember either)and it doesn't list any seal on the half shafts
If it doesn't fit MODIFY it!!

This may seem a silly question but what side of the bearing is this oil seal?

It was on top of the bearing by the looks of things... Bu hard to tell accurately.

I think you mean an "O" ring --- not standard fittment just put the shaft back in with a tiny smear of jointing compound round the
outside of the bearing
