Measuring to determine which axle???

I've been cheating more than I'm really proud to admit on repacking the bearings on my flatbed -- doing the job right on the outside, but putting off the inside bearings. The holdup has been identifying the seal for the back side. They're Dexters, and their book lists the seal P/Ns by brake size, i.e. 10x2-1/4, 12x2, etc.

Any nifty tips on what I need to be measuring to get past this little hitch so I can do the job right?
