While I am having a little bit of a problem figuring out exactly what I am seeing there it kinda looks like the crank has knurling?

It was pretty much the standard for the factory to knurl the seal surface on the cranks back in the day, BUT they ran rope seals.

If that is a knurl you need a rope seal. The lip seal needs a flat surface.

Most old used cranks have the knurling worn down by the time we get to them so if the surface is smooth where the seal rides, then a lip seal is OK.

At least that has been my experience
