Default Sidevalve V8 welsh plugs

Recently I took the sump off a Mercury V8. Hidden by the sump gasket are four small (about 11/16" or 18mm) welsh plugs. The two towards the front of the engine weren't fitted so this seems not to be a serious problem to the previous rebuilder. The holes were full of gunk and quite deep and they seem to go into the water jacket.

Has anyone had any experience of this?

A source of supply for these dished plugs in Melbourne? Once you could get this sort of thing at Repco but no longer.
