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.
