Or has someone cut the hole as a quick and easy way to attend to a coolant leak or de-sludge the block water jacket Smile  ?
We used to do this to 100E Fords to repair a leaking rear core plug, directly under the dipswitch iirc and then once you'd blocked it with a body plug the customer would be none the wiser...

Yes I have to confess doing similar on a DS Citroen when I cut a hole in the bulkhead to change the timing chain then pop riveted a cover and put the carpet back, saved me about 2 days work. The car had terminal rust and I was broke so it worked.

At least your's was done neatly.
Mine had about a dozen holes used to chain cut a bigger hole and then a piece of steel slapped over the top to hide it all.

My AD Chummy had a hole just like that. I think the core plug was threaded?

My RK came with a rough cut hole. It hadn’t been covered with anything (even carpet).  I welded in a new bit of steel during the restoration.  Perhaps tidying up the hole and putting on a cover plate may have been a better idea?  Huh.

Then hopefully a factory hole?
