Default camshaft seal

as per title are there different seals? My garage has ordered 2 in and both are wrong. They've asked me if the camshaft is aftermarket, which i believe it is.

the supplier of theirs cant find a camshaft seal to fit this camshaft.

Nope only 1 size. Never had an issue over the years and used a huge variety of brands for the seals and all on different cams. They are definitely getting a cam seal in and not crank...

I just popped into the garage, the seal supplied is about 5-8mm smaller than mine and is brown. Mine is black.
