I can post a photo of one of the cups and the grease (presumably Campagnolo, but certainly a white lithium grease of some sort). It's incredibly gooey, but still appears to be 'greasey', meaning I think it could be put back together and ridden with no harm done.
A few decades ago I picked up a small tub of Rampar grease of a light tan color. I have no idea what was in it but it stayed gooey and greasy until I finally used it up two years ago. Any bearings I have ever opened up which I had packed with that stuff were still light and gooey and greasy. I have no doubt that the rest are all still as I last saw them.
