Apologies, I have no idea, but can't you measure the grease nipple's - gauge of the thread, and diameter

Always thought they were tapered thread to ensure "tightness"

Hi.
Dealt alot with lubing nipples and tapered pipe fittings in my aviation experience. British BSP and American NTP are tapered and taps are readily available for both. Not seen a tapered metric threaded grease nipple as yet.
