It looks like you have got a pair of swivel seals, one for each side and a pair of inner drive shaaft seals, one for each side. But only two kingpin bearings,enough to do one side only unless there are 2 bearings in each box. You need 4 bearing races and 4 outer tracks for each side
If you have a look at my photo above you will see what I look out of 1 side, bearing wise/
Where did you get them from and how much did you pay for them?

You will need 2x kingpin bearings for each side (top and bottom)
The large dust seal you have isnt really needed (but good practice to replace).

If its leaking oil from the swivel, then thats a wheel bearing and oil seal that needs replacing ...

Think you will find oil coming from swivel is due to kingpin oil seal failure/
