Grease Nipple Size

Hi, does anybody know the exact size for the grease nipples mounted to front beam and the one for the pedals? My 51' has mounted some metric M10x1.0, wrenchsize 11mm....even they fit ok I don't think these nipples are original because 11mm wrenchsize was a bit uncommon on splits, should be more 12 or 14mm?!
Anyone? Thanks Smile

11 mm is correct!

I can't say when changed. Here pictures of the early version, a grease gun must has different nozzle for these nipples?
