On TH350 transmission cast aluminum cover there are 2 threaded holes. What is the purpose for them? Are they for a skid plate?

There are strut braces that run from those holes to triangular plates that mount to the engine at the motor mounts.

What year Squarebody K5 used them? My 1976 didn't seem to have them.
