"Today I went to Volvo and purchased the correct seals. The correct seals are just as the other posts suggest. They have a metal retainer "washer" that taps into the back of the hub to hold the rubber part".
No, nothing "holds the rubber part".
The rubber part goes on the spindle shoulder first, and all by itself. The "washer" doesn't hold the rubber part, it just contacts the rubber lip to complete the seal when everything is installed.
