What are these holes for? (3rd gen question)

I have an 84 z28 and there are 2 sets of holes drilled in the rear tail light assmebly that look like they might be factory drilled becuase they are fairly lined up on both sides, im just wondering what they might have been there for, is there a piece of something somebody removed before i got the car, or what... here are some pictures...



You cant really see the second picture that well, but the same set of holes is drilled on the other side on the other tail light assembly.

Larger European licence plates may have been on the car at one time.

So, is it possable to get other tail light assemblies without the holes, for some reason it really bothers me now that ive seen the holes, they seem to stick out alot now
