Default Cardan Joint Greasing? Anyone Know?

As I work my way through this new to me '83 w250 I am discovering things along the way - namely the double cardan joints used on the front driveshafts of these trucks. Anyone know if these early joints on the gen ones have the tiny little greasing ports like the later trucks? Thank you!

Found the grease fitting -mine was a traditional zerk but was supposed to be a flush style zerk that you push a pointed tip into and pump away, oh well . . . makes me wonder if that joint had been changed at some point.
