2 oblong holes on radiator core support? WTF are they?

Since the car only has 13K original miles on it, I think it was a drag-car in its past, but the location is strange is not in their "normal location". Normally the pins were more outwards, towards the fenders. To your point there are no flares on the underside; perfectly smooth.. I would hate to repair these and take away from the cars history.. It is one of those things that I just would like clarity on before I make the repair. Appreciate your time!
