I've had boat trailers and one popup that had a zerk in the spindle (NOT in a dust cap like a bearing buddy) and those both had the grease entering between the inner/outer bearings.. and no means to allow grease to exit through the outer bearing (both had a large washer that effectively blocked the exit). Those hubs are not the same as ez-lube/super lube hubs and that was what I was trying to determine by checking with Lippert.
They can name them whatever they want. It either has a grease fitting or not. It is just a hole drilled In the spindle that exits right in front of the seal. Good luck.
Use them as designed or not, don't care. Just trying to help others positively ID.
