Only one remains, if you'd have looked for yourself your question would be answered

That’s cheap 
I’d snag it, but I scored a pair of them on eBay for cheap, but unknown if they are actually what should be in the boxes

That is cheap, around half Rock Auto's delivered price. Still 1 in stock, sold/shipped by Amazon.
Since it's amazon, can just return it if something seems off, like not having Timken stamped into the bearing cover.

Timken wheel bearings are very durable, nevertheless nothing is forever.
Here is one which last several years, before grease came out and get a little play.
What i was missing (at every new front wheel bearing) is the big thin o-ring thats going around
to prevent water getting in. I don't know anymore if these o-rings are Motorcraft parts,
never found them. Have had two of them, but they are history cause with every bearing change
they get damaged more and more.
Rust and debris inside the knuckle.

Happy new year for all,
i am pretty shure that these o-rings were present, but not with new factory hubs.
Maybe it was only to 1997, i don't know. But looking closely there is a litte groove
around the bearing, i think the o-rings makes sense.
