[GreenKeys] Model 28 Lubrication Questions

Greetings GreenKeyers --

I'm doing my annual lubrication of my beloved Model 28 RO, and now I'm
beginning to think that I've been omitting (not lubricating) a key part of
the unit since it was given to me.  I'm following the instructions in this
manual:
https://www.navy-radio.com/manuals/tty/jh/ttyman7/TeletypeManuals/model28/573-115-701TC-Iss3.pdf

When I get to page 6 and section 2.06, the Codebar Mechanism, I can see in
the pictorial at the top of Page 6 that I'm looking horizontally, into the
front of the typing unit (code bars on right side).  But when I look at the
line drawing of the codebar mechanism at the bottom of page 6 I'm a bit
disoriented.  Am I looking at the line drawing also horizontally into the
front of the typing unit?  Or is the line drawing a top-down view (plan
view)?  Either way, where are the two O2 oil points on the left side of the
2.06 line drawing?  Are they buried inside the typing unit and if so, how
do I get at them?

And another question, using the photo below rather than Teletype manuals,
should I be lubricating the area in red?  Is that the back side of the code
bars?  If I should be lubricating those, do I need to remove the stunt box
to do that?  I'm very reluctant to try to remove the stunt box because that
seems pretty scary.   I don't want to end up with a 5 gallon bucket full of
TTY parts.  I have been lubricating the area in yellow because I can reach
it,, but does the area in yellow need lubrication?

thanks,

Paul - ad7i
