Are the additional servo holes factory?

Please look closely at the bottom of this RC10. The additional servo and battery mount holes appear to be factory drilled. I say that because the inside of the holes appear to be anodized. Yes some are not countersunk but are so clean and perfectly mirror the stock opposite factory drilled holes. My question to the forum is, has anyone ever seen additional holes (stock) drilled as this pic shows on any other gold pans? This car has never been driver BTW.

Although I haven't seen it before, it does make sense that they essentially loaded the chassis upside down during manufacturing. Then redrilled it properly. If the holes were not symmetrical I would not be in agreement but I'd say thats a legit oops chassis out of the factory

Thanks for your input. I tend to agree with you because the holes are so perfect. I purchased the car today and haven't actually seen it in person only pictures. Once it's in hand I'm hoping to put the mystery to bed! Thanks again!

Eyyy I have one of these (unfortunately drilled by previous owner). I think there was a thread a looong time ago (couldn't find it).
The new guy probably did a bunch wrong and the boss was like "Ehh, just flip 'em"
