Kingpin greasing

The received wisdom is to keep the grease nipples (plural) on each kingpin well greased. On my 1975 Ami 8 based Lomax, I can only find one nipple a side, at the bottom. Have I missed something?

In that case, the source of such wisdom needs to be questioned... ;)
One grease nipple per kingpin, located close to the lower bush.
Mind you, there are another pair of grease nipples on a car in original condition, one on each inner driveshaft, which also benefit from attention.
