Hi Sam,
As far as I can see your water pump has been replaced at an 
earlier stage by a more modern for life time lubricated pump.Early 
pumps had in fact a grease nipple, but later replacement parts do 
not need any maintenance.
With concern to your diff.question it is that many british cars did 
not require oil draining at the rear axle.According to the 
maintenance manual only topping up was required, but the cars 
were of cause not supposed to live that long.If you want to drain the
oil in the final drive, you will have to remove the rear cover of the 
hypoid casing.

        With all the leaking of oil, just “topping up” mightbe counted as an
oil change.  8>)   -Cosmo
