My information is based on stock street cars the way AC Cars made them. Racers made all kinds of modifications over the years, so many that finding completely original pieces is difficult.

Yes, I have seen vintage racers with a couple of different grease fitting schemes for rear lower vertical pins.

Also worth noting, since you are going after a racing configuration the RLS 12 rear hub bearings don't apply. For road racing, Shelby American modified rear vertical links and converted them to taper roller bearings for rear hub axles.
