odd crossover ports in early dual plane holley?

The 2 nearest the thermostat housing are not vacuum ports....they go into the water passages for senders.

Im well aware what a temp port is bud. Look closely, there are 2 ports on the runners, and two bolts sticking up on the rear that also appear to be blocking ports into runners, or Egr as RRR points out they may be for. The op even states it has 3 if not 4 plugs.
