The holes in the front panel over the windshield are probably for the welding jig that the part sat in when it was welded up as all three cabs I could see that area in have them in them.

The ones in the back Probably were added to hold something like a gun rack or other piece behind the seat. If memory serves right my ex step father had a shelf/open top box made that sat behind the seat and stuck out over the back a bit (4 or so inches) that he would stick blueprints and other things in so they didn't clutter up the seat, It sure was hard when you forgot and leaned your head back too fast though. I can't remember if the box was wood or formed out of sheet metal but think it was formed out of metal by a buddy of his who owned a sheet metal shop and sheet metal fabricating for him.
