I had a lot of issues tracking down the right parts recently for my 84TC. I got the correct rotors and two of the right bearings but the inner bearing and seals were the wrong size.

The correct ones:
Bearing seal - Timken 6815
Inner bearing - Timken SET17
Outer bearing - SKF BR12

The INCORRECT parts listed at Rockauto, Oreilly, etc.:
Bearing seal - part 19223
Inner bearing - SKF BR5
Thunderbird Turbo Coupe, Bright Canyon Red TuTone, Desert Tan Interior; 1 of 7 in this combo in 1984 according to Marti.  1 of 13,361 TCs in 84.
   Rebuilt, 3-Angle Valve Job, SYB37 "OE/Small" Slider Cam
   Full 3" Stinger Exhaust to Flowmaster 40, Gnari FMIC/Recirc/BPV, MBC @ 18psi, RF-E6 Manifold, Remote-Mount TFI, PC1 and Flowed 35# Injectors, Inline Walboro 255HP, Kirban AFPR
   Rebuilt Suspension -- KYB & Energy Suspension

EVERYBODY lists the wrong inner bearing and seal. I haven't a clue as to why. I found this out myself a while back, but never took the time to find out the correct parts. Thanks for posting this!

Just wanted to add something...

The correct part numbers you came up with are listed for all '83-'86 Thunderbirds EXCEPT TurboCoupes. So if you're looking to get a set and can't remember the part numbers, you can just ask for the inner bearings and seals for an '83-'86 Base Model, Elan, or Sport and you will get the correct parts.
