I can only speak for MGB but it's normal to pack the bearings with grease
(specified in the Workshop Manual) even though they are going to be running in
axle oil.  For that reason the type of grease would seem to be less of an
issue than for the front bearings.

  2.    Do you pack the bearings with high temp. grease?  One source said
  yes, but the manuals and the mgaguru site make no mention of this step.
  The manual says that the bearings are lubricated only by the  hyphoid
  oil from the differential.
