I am trying to find out what the brand of this drive-in locking door latch is. It is circa 1975. I am planning to replace four of them.

That is a classic style mobile home latch. It's probably a generic model. You can still get an exact replacement from many sources. There is probably a local mobile home supply near you that deals with Blevins.
Yes, this is just a lump of metal, big enough that it doesn't matter a lot what you lube it with. (I'd lean more to a grease than an oil -- lithium grease used with a light touch, perhaps.) But it also shouldn't need lubrication on a regular basis, so I suspect you've got something else going on.
