Warmest Greetings
I have a shimano 600 freehub that has an oil hole and clip. It is 6 speed. As I understand this particular model was made from 1982 till 1984. There was a German web site that had shimano dates. I no longer have it post hard drive crash.

the more lasting inovations of Shimano's freehub system and intergrated
shifters/brakelevers came after the CR timeline.
