Sean, it may not be missing. The early model did not have a oil pump and had a row of Gits oilers on the top gib rails. The second model had the pump. Or yours may be the second model that some PO has pulled the pump from...
Mine's the first model without pump and with the Gits cups...

Got a lathe?
You can always just make yourself a pump.
Or adapt a pump that is available.
Heck, I HAD a SB Shaper that I gave away, never really looked it over. But there are only so many reliable ways to run an oil pump.
A reciprocating plunger pump is just a piston and cylinder, a couple of check valves (bearing balls, with a spring to help them seat) and a pick up and outlet tube.
The pictures I see online show a pretty basic unit, not too hard to fake together out of bar stock with some soldering or a little fakery with some small screws or bolts.
