I've got to go with Ed on this one.
There are U-J's with grease nipples set into a corner of the cross shaft and 
those without any at all.  I have never seen an 'over the counter' U-J for a 
LBC with the grease nipple in the endcap.
However, have a look at.....

 the lubrication goes through the endcaps on that.If it is a freshly replaced 
U-J that is vibrating it may suggest one of theneedle rollers has slipped out 
of place and is crushed in the assembly orthe yolk is not centralised.Guy R
