Rear axle bearings

My series IV rear axle is apart and Id like to reasemble with new axle bearings.
I read somewhere that S5 axle brgs. are sealed rather than having a seperate grease seal.
Anyone know if this is correct, and more importantly, can I use SV bearings in my SIV rear housing?

the series 5 does use a closed bearing with a rubber o ring seal on the outside of the bearing housing. series 1 thru 4 use an open bearing with a separate seal. series 5 bearings will not fit the earlier axle housings.
