Now I have split the cases and the crank is ready for rebuild with a new rod. And of course, a new countersunk M6 bolt

I couldn't get the OEM crank bearings and seals, so I ordered them from a local industrial supply shop (before diamantling the engine). However, when I opened the engine, I found the crank seals to be brown in color. I expect the seals I receive to be black , as are all the other seals in the engine/gearbox.
Does this matter? Are the brown seals of another / better suited material (viton?)

Any insight would be appreciated.
