Default Axle Seals

Is it true that the 13 JK only has outer front axle seals?
I have a leak on the passenger side and was looking up seals and all I can find are outers.
After looking at a schematic, all I see listed are outers.

Not true at all.... outer seals are all aftermarket and I consider them voodoo. All front JK axles only come with inner seals from the factory.

Mopar is using a 2 piece seal in place of the single posted above.

The rear axles only have outer seals. The bearings are lubed with the differential gear oil. These seals are on the shafts and have to be installed before the bearings, bolting plate and tone ring.
