Carl,
A supplement was issued for the 25th Series in the Ultramatic section in the 1951-54 service manual. One of the changes noted is the relocation of the converter drain plugs from the front face of the clutch housing to the outer diameter of the housing, so it looks like you found the right plugs. I checked an old 1952 or 53 Ultramatic that I have laying around and the drain plugs are on the outer diameter on it.
Still, it seems strange that there was no fluid left in the converter.
