If it's anything like it's big brother that I bought, headstock oil will be listed as Shell Tellus 27, with the screwcutting Tellus 33. Shell still do Tellus oils, but they're not the same as the old Tellus oils from the era of that manual.
From much googling, modern equivalents are hydraulic ISO 32 and 68 oils.
One word of caution when dealing with ISO 32 or thinner oils, wear gloves. 32 is thin enough to get in skin pores, and cause problems.
