Yes that would be a sound suggestion but bolts for what purpose?
stu, possible but earlier models didn't have them so I'm thinking maybe some accessories attached there.…..Live a Quiet Life & Work with your Hands

What would be very handy are outriggers for supporting long work pieces, these mounting holes would make something like this very easy to instal.
Something like this

Would tend to lean toward a clamp , possibly an over centre type.

I notice that there is no centre through hole ! I would guess at fixings for some kind of guide or jig plate.
