As far as i am aware all T5's had the internal seal and the dust thingy where the rear seal used to go on the P range.
Steve the T5 has an internal seal and indeed a dust seal on the outside. But I always fit an oil seal on the outside too. Just a little more peace of mind, and may help oil from getting to the rear shoes. The seal is about a £1 from a bearing dealer.
