Holes in block of a 216

Can anyone tell me what the two holes are for in the picture? They are through holes with no threads.

Inside there should be a baffle that was / is riveted to the block via those two holes. If the baffle is missing you could push oil out the draft tube

Are those parts available new or will I need to look for used?

They are not available new. I may have one, I do remember taking one off a block that was bad. I can check tomorrow
