Cleaning and greasing door handles 120-130

I have a 122 that didn't come with door/trunk keys. The trunk lock was missing, so I couldn't get a key made using that lock (which is the easiest way of getting a key made for all three locks). The car is a '66 122 (P130) and I have a '66 P130 parts car with all three locks in it. So, I grabbed that set to get a key made for my other '66. Before I took it to the locksmith, I wanted to make sure all three keys were keyed alike, so I took the trunk lock and one door lock cylinder out. They were keyed alike, so I had the local locksmith make me a key for the locks. Not bad, cut one key to fit the locks, two extra keys cut from the one that was made, plus one ignition key cut for $25.50.

Well, the door handle is taken apart, and thought I should remove the old grease, and regrease it before I install them.

Looks like the parts in red are the only parts that need to be cleaned and greased. Any suggestions on the type of grease I should use? Should the cylinder get any lubrication? Triflow? graphite?
