MG MGA - Water Pumps

I am about to replace the dripping water pump on my 1600 roadster.
The present one does not appear to have any means of greasing.
The workshop manual shows two types.
One which does not have a grease nipple at all and also a "Later type" of pump with a screw plug to be removed for greasing.
The new one I have which I thought was NOS has a grease nipple not a screw plug.
Has my 1600 engine therefore been fitted with a 1500 type water pump by the PO and when were the screw plugs replaced by grease nipples ?
