Yes, the head has meters - Quill, Z ballscrew and back gear slide.
All these are fed from an FJB-0/3 on the first manifold. It is this that I thought strange, why not use a higher flow meter here, or at least one that can pass the same amount of lube as the 3 it preceeds combined.

I have ordered some spares of each rate so I can experiment a little, the feed tubes I'm using are transparent so I can see the lube as it flows through the system.
