The axle beam basically consists of 2 tubes. There is grease fitting 
at each end of each tube. Very early cars are slightly different, but 
on your 69 the 2 on the top tube both face forward and down, 
symmetrically opposite each other. The 2 bottom ones, 1 is just in 
front of the lower seam and the other is just behind the seam on 
the other end of the tube.

These fittings screw into the axle beam and can be replaced. If 1 of 
yours is gone you can replace it from another axle beam. I think 
the type 1 grease fittings are the same as ours.
