floor plugs for bench seat racks in bucket seat car

AFAIK, the unneeded holes simply didn't get drilled.
Not true. The bench seat holes are in the floor pan and were plugged from the factory when bucket seats were installed. My 68 Dart convertible is the same way. It had 4 small plastic plugs in the bench seat holes.
