33 Tudor-What are these holes for?

[Doctor's Ford]

My 33 project keeps going. Body is getting primed and I just noticed these 4 holes on the vertical panel in front of the left door (passenger side on this RHD car). Two are larger, about an inch diameter and the 2 in the middle are may be half inch each. All are clearly marked with a red arrow in the pictures so you can comment. They seem original. One might think they are for mounting an antenna, but this car has never had a radio. Any suggestions? Thanks guys. Manuel

Not original Ford holes.

Sidemount holes??

Bet they were for one of those international flag type turn signal devices.

My initial thought was 'trafficators', but they wouldn't be much use on just one side of the car! Maybe for a radio aerial?

I bet they were indeed fo an antenna, and the car had a totally non-fitted radio from something much later just hung in someplace without going through the dash.

Thanks to all of you! Evidently something non original so I will fill them before any more work is done on the body. Manuel
