Superjet 650 (SN '92) Midshaft housing advice

Dear friends and co forumists,

After having dealt with my pump wear ring, and gunwale, I now took off my mid-shaft housing from the hull.

Before removing it i was persuaded i could get away by replacing the ball bearings and oil seals.
But having a closer look tells me that the rubber dumper is not in a good condition.
I would like some advice please. can anyone tell me by looking at the pictures if i need to replace the whole housing or what ?

(By the way, is this number engraved on the small aluminum plate on the hub supposed to be the OEM part number ?)IMG_20200317_154719.jpgIMG_20200317_154753.jpgIMG_20200317_154806.jpg
 
Seems like a great time to replace it. You're looking to see if the rubber has separated from the housing, and since its coming on 30 years old, why not replace it now with new bearings and seals and be good for another 30.
