They are cast if they are original or same spec...I always put one of the
better ones that I think both major vendors sell...wouldn't call them billet
but they are turned so maybe...and they do have specifically room for two
seals.

John,
What ever you do don't put a screw driver of other like tool on to the 
opening and pry against the throw out bearing sleeve. They are cast and 
break REAL easy. Then you have to tear down the diff to repair it. I use a 
hooked tool to reach in and pull the ring and seal out.
