Wheel Bearing Questions

Need a little help please:

I ordered new rear wheel bearing kits from TPC and they arrived yesterday.
Now the question I have is:
According to EKTA the part number for the rear bearings is 443 498 625 and
the kit came with the bearing, two lock rings, the axle nut and two smaller
lock nuts and one bolt. Now according to the parts diagram in EKTA I don't
see where the bolt goes nor do I see the need for two lock rings. The box
from TPC is marked with the part number 443 498 625

I then double checked this against the front wheel bearings and that kit
shows the need for everything that I received. Now my real question is are
the front and rear wheel bearings the same or are they different? I'd hate
to tear the car apart and then realize that I got the wrong ones and be
stuck without the car for a week or so.

As always all help is appreciated,
