These are the covers for the original priming plugs from 1923 mentioned earlier. My 1929 Saloon has the original light shaft engine and the cylinder head still has the plugs - I would think from old stock- 'waste not want not' was a Longbridge motto!
Are the head nuts the long block nuts from the valve chest ?
Cheers, Tony.

Not sure it is a Holden body- two piece screen, door handles, no swage line and the four blade fan is easily fitted.
The engine looks alright although fitted with a 'Bosch' distributor and the dashboard has a notched bottom line - from the later two seater ?
From our experience we often don't have a chassis number either on the chassis or paperwork and if around the late20's are very pleased to have access to the records at Gaydon.
Cheers, Tony.
