The baffled sections in the pan at each end were to prevent accelerating or braking inertia from sloshing a large volume of oil to either end of the pan where the crank could hit or pick it up. IIRC, weren't the drain holes back into the sump either in the baffle's vertical part bottom edge or maybe the flat section but was a relatively small opening so it didn't defeat the purpose. Perhaps the previous mechanic or owner had a pooling problem and felt a larger hole was needed in the rear.
