Are you sure about the inner diameters of the bearings? Since you said it's a Dexter we should have a solution unless this is a mobile home axle. Typically Dexter spindles have an inner diameter of 1.38 and an outer diameter of 1.06 where spindles ride or have inner diameter that is 1.74 and outer diameter that is 1.25 inch so it seems you might be measuring wrong place.

Especially since the seal diameter of the first spindle dimension set I mentions is 1.73 inches. Check out the picture I attached and verify for me what dimensions you need.
