Default LP2 Hole ?

Just supplied a photo of my phantom MG gunner's foot rest mounts (to my post in March).
Had no replies to the mysterious engine cover bracket.
Now for the intriguing hole !
As per the photos my carrier has a 5/8" hole drilled through the front plate, maybe again only the Victorian carriers have them ! what for.
I could fall back on "a farmer in the 1960's drilled it" ~ maybe.
Or.

Default I doubt that...

...a person hand drilled that hole. It looks far too clean to be hand held at that size. There is a plug that fits in the armour on the left side of a MKII canadian carrier that fills a hole where the smoke discharger or 2"mortar mounts, can't remember, perhaps this is a similar thing.

Sean, on your first sentence---My thoughts exactly! It looks like it's supposed to be there.

Duh!Of course, how could I have missed the fact that there is no coffee cup holder in the picture, obviously the mount hole for that crucial item.
