As you see they are ball bearings, all American cars switched to
rollers back in the fifties, like the Real Jeep floaters:

No. Needle bearings are usually lumped together in the small parts
kit for transmissions and the like.

Thanks for the answers guys,, That XJ sold before I managed to get ahold of
the seller over the weekend.. Pisses me off in the sense that other then a
wheel bearing (diagnosed by his and my mechanic) it was good to go...

Ok the short of it... how does one go about removing the front hubs? I
have a noisy bearing on the drivers side (eliminated the ujoint), I was
interested to know of any tricks, do's and don;ts .

Thanks
