Can anyone help identifying this? from documentation it could be Halyard deep sea seal, but apparently they do not sell these anymore, any help to solve leaking, change the system etc would be greatly appreciated thanks Tony

Not a Deep Sea. Never seen anything like it.

More pics needed. As said, not a Deep Sea seal. It has a GRP cover over the seal itself so we can't actually see what it is. Can you take a pic inside the cover?

As above, what's in the weird cowl thing? Also, what is lurking under that bit of wood; just a shaft brush or something else? More photos please.

The rubber bit does look like a Deep Sea Seal but I've never seen the metal cowl/clamp ring thing before; perhaps the larger sizes had that to create more axial force on the seal face.

Lettering on it does say D.S.S Ltd so that would point to some variant of Deep Sea Seal

Have you contacted John Crane?

I think you will find this is a commercial Manecraft seal based on a John Crane design and originally made Deep Sea Seals. Face seal like the later design used on smaller boats.
Suggest you try here first Deep Sea Seals | We stock a range of Mane-bar, Manecraft stern seals and composite bearings held from Wartsila for whom we hold the Scottish Agency | Macduff Group

Decided that Tide marine sealing to be the best to fit. Problem cant find a serious French mechanic to do the job. The vessel is on the dry in Rouen France so if anyone knows a good reliable UK company or marine engineer willing to do the job in Rouen France I would welcome hearing from them. Rouen is just over 2 hours drive from Calais or 1 hour from Le Havre ferry.

Try these people. They might have the knowledge and deal in these seals.
