The actual glad hands up behind the cab - where the hoses are used to feed a "king pin type" trailer air - have a shutoff "ball valve". Keeps stupid stuff from happening like trying to use the glad hand connections by the pintle and a pintle trailer at the same time. The hand valve will also...

MTVR as in the MK23?
The 7-Ton USMC Trucks?
If so, the best you can get at the moment is the -10 (Operators) TM.
Even that manual isn't released to the public even though there are plenty of them "in the wild".
Snap a few more pictures of the truck itself.
The label maker blue things...

According to a chart that I found, Group31's measure 13 x 6.8 x 9.44 inches with the 9.44 being tall.
Is there some sort of "filler" in your battery box?
I have Group 31's in one of my M108x's with room to spare. The tops of the battery post are just a little above the top of the bottom...

The plug would be on the bottom or possibly bottom side of the transmission.
Most times, the plug would be a half inch square drive that you could easily remove with a ratchet.
Thing is grinding gears is an obvious sound - and you would feel the grind through your hand with it on the...

Welcome to the Outfit!
So you already have a new-to-you truck... Congratulations!
Now it is time to "hit the books". The Technical Manuals (TM's) will help you a lot.

We also have a parts spreadsheet posted here...

Welcome to the Outfit!
Like @TomTime suggested, the TM's (Technical Manuals) will definitely be your friend. Learning what the writers call parts can be different than what you might call those same parts - and that can drive you nuts! There are flow charts made for solving problems. Those...

I personally would say no.
If you pack the bearings correctly, an extra glob in that "well" between the inner and outer bearing shouldn't need to be filled.
