In the bags. There's 2 mirrors, a fuel funnel and a grease gun. It looks like it has one of those attachments you've posted.

We are probably going to over complicate this for poor old Deuce22!
If you're using it for 8 hours every day then it would be polite to grease it every day.
Otherwise don't panic, grease it every time you fill it up with diesel (roughly a days work). You can feel/hear when its full. To start with, it wont take much as they all should be nice and tight. The slew ring requires much less than the rest of the machine and I think on mine is every 200hrs.
Yes there are different greases for different bits but any is better than none!
Also, check oil/ water levels every time you fill it up with diesel and dont start/turn it off with the throttle on flat out and you should be fine.
Good advice there - I've come across that a lot.
This diggers costing me a fortune haha.

Someone else told me to get a battery one. I've seen cheaper ones for around £100, would these be any good.
You dont need a battery grease gun for one fecking mini digger

And you don’t need a G-coupler thing either, there will be literally 1,000’s of drivers out there everyday, greasing machines with out these on, save your money, for what your doing you’ll be lucky if you do 10 grease cartridges a year.
