At the time I was nervous about it so I added a restrictor fitting at the canister inlet. When I change oil next, I will be sure to, again, double and triple check the canister inside outlet pipe for outlet holes, and report back if anyone is interested.

You may indeed not be mistaken.
Your recollections are of the first generation of accessory oil filters and not the same design as the later 8BA standard equipment ones.
The single .060 dia. hole in the stand pipe was probably the restictor hole
and was the way it may have been engineered.
Your adding an outside restrictor hole probably just helped to insure less oil pressure in the cannister. (I wouldn't sweat it)
