No - the design stayed the same - they just decided grease would do instead of oil.

Spridget racks used oil until a triumph rack was adopted in the mid '70s.... and afaik the spridget rack is the same as the opposite hand drive minor rack....

Apparently, grease in the steering rack makes the steering much stiffer when the weather is cold, hence oil being specified. I use one of the old fashioned push type Tecalemit grease guns that I bought on ebay for a fiver. I keep this one exclusively for the oil, saves messing about emptying out grease! It fits perfectly, being only 8 1/2" long.
