NEQ6 bolts on side - confused

Hi,

I have a question regarding the two bolts/grub screws on the opposite side from the power connectors on NEQ6 (pro), as circled in red in the attached image.

I got my NEQ6 second hand several years ago and it is missing the two above mentioned bolts (i.e. it has two threaded holes). I thought that this was by design and I was planing using the holes for some sort of cable holders. While trying to find the thread size, to my surprise, I just realised that all mount images I could find on the internet have the bolts installed, unlike mine.

So... total confusion here. What are the bolts used for? Does anyone know what is the thread size?

Thanks in advance,
Luka

If you remove the screws you can peer inside to see the gear mesh situation.
More a peephole than anything. No reason why they can’t be used as threads to mount some kind of cable management.

Thanks Steve. For a while I was worried that they may be important for something.
