Paul, I just checked an old trunnion from the junk box, and it took a
standard 1/8" NPT grease zerk. If a 1/8 NPT zerk won't thread into your
trunnion, then I'd guess it's missing because the threads are stripped.
Might be metric I guess, but I've not heard of anyone supplying trunnions
that take metric grease fittings (and I'm guessing a 1/8 NPT would go into a
M10x1 hole anyway).
Offhand I don't see any way to repair them without taking the trunnion off
the car, so you can clean it up and try to braze or glue a repair.

ISTR the grease fittings on the ball joints use 1/4-28 threads into the BJ,
rather than the 1/8 NPT.
