Oil seals are the same as the rd500, part number 41Y2314500.

Get genuine Yamaha, around £9 each

As Steve says, use only Genuine Yamaha. Aftermarket seals are prone to failure.

Original parts are often also available on the free market without Yamaha bag.
As far as I have found out the RD500 seal is not available, it seems to be a Yamaha only part.

But this reminds me that a local suspension specialist told me he can offer original NOK seals... Maybe I should ask him.
My bikes:
RD500 YPVS 1GE
RD350 YPVS 31K 1985
Honda CBR 1000 RR SC57
Yamaha R1 RN04
