Two 3/8-16 threaded holes adjacent to left and right water pumps. What are they for?

They're so you can use the 59 block as a "replacement block" in a '32. DD

In '53 they were again used for a saddle mount for pickups and larger

It appears those same holes are likely used in this pictured operation. Upon second look, these all appear to be POST-'48. Probably on their way to, or coming back from being "spun" by the big electric motors. DD
