No grease nipples on 04 D2 driveshafts -- is this correct?

Thanks.
On further inspection, there are the plugs for all four three points -- front and rear slip joints, front and rear single u-joints.
However, no nipples. If I were a betting man, I would guess that the dealer removed them after servicing in order to force the previous owner to keep coming back (until he slipped a sleeve and then gave it to my son, the prior owner had ALL work done at the dealer -- something like $20 grand worth of work over 10 years).
I am going to rebuild them over summer, in the meantime want to grease them. The plugs on the slip joints were 1/4", however holes for zerks on the u-joints are really small -- smaller than 3/16".
Anybody have any idea what size zerk fittings I need. Are they metric? The holes are way smaller than a 6mm, which are the only ones I could find.

The zerks on the slip joint are standard 1/4".
There are no zerks on the u-joints: just really small threaded threaded holes where they should be.
It won't accept a 1/4" or even a 3/16" zerk, so I am asking whether anyone knows what size these might be.
I am sure that the dealer who serviced this car for 10 years before we got it took them off to keep the previous owner from "cheating" on them and getting the greasing done at a cheaper lube shop. Does anyone else have experience with that being standard operating procedure by LR dealers
