My Cannondale has the same holes. It was an entry level road bike back when I bought it but I don't think the frame was any different from their top bike at the time.
Andy Gilmour is a local, Tucson, legend/guru/greybeard type so if I ride the tour in November on one of this bikes I'm sure people will notice.
OTOH, my sister's race bike from the same era does not have the holes.
