I've got some Castrol Heavy Grease in the shed; will this do the trick?

I've got some vague recollection that its supposed to be the grey stuff, Lithium?

There's a whistling noise when cold from the O/S/F of my Pug 405 Diesel, which I'm confident is a dry CV (have had similar symptoms before)

I don't think I can practicably do anything with the wheel bearing; bar replace it, correct?

None of the usual knocking / clunking / play symptoms yet; of course by this time it'll be too late.

as PJ says get some proper CV greese, DO NOT try to use any other old greese, it will at best not work, or worse cause a lot of damage!
