There are no grease points for the slip joints on the front & rear main driveshafts? One is splined (front) one is not (rear). How are they supposed to be lubricated?

Must be something unique to yours as every Oka I've looked at has nipples on the splines/sliding joints.

It turns out the front shaft was fitted in Germany in 2015 & the rear is a Mercedes item fitted in South Africa in 2011. Both are 'sealed' units. Previous owner says he has occasionally dismantled them to grease them. I can't feel any 'slop' in them but the seals are looking like they have seen better days & are unlikely to keep water out on river crossings any more so I am going to fit a grease nipple to each.
