Are we talking about the rear end or front end? There is no inner seals on the rear

It was the rear axle housing. I have 2 bravadas and had to replace bearings, seals, and 1 axle each. Bought a used axle housing for parts. Only one side on one car was full of oil. The others just had grease in the bearings. Made me wonder if there was another seal at the gear side.
