Default source for front and rear axle o rings?

According to my factory workshop manual, I should be changing the o-rings on my front and rear axle oil filler/level drain plugs as part of the regular oil change maintenance. When I visited my local dealer to buy the o-rings, they couldn't find them on their computer (and they showed me the screen - I couldn't find them either).

Does anyone happen to know the factory part number (or name) that I can give my dealer so they can get the part? Or is there an online store that sells these?

Thanks!

Do you have plastic or cast iron fill plugs?
If plastic, replace it with cast iron or the solid brass plugs from Expedition Exchange.

I guess we didnt answer your question, there is no O-ring for the drain/fill plugs for the diff's.
You screw in the plug until it is tight and go.

I think there is a ring on the plastic plug, there is for sure on the solid brass plugs.
You can always use teflon tape and really tighten the cast plugs tight.
