Re: '54 Door Jam plate (ID Plate, VN Plate)

This guess about the reason for the holes through the plate and the jamb literally popped into my head as I was going to sleep (serious Packard brain fever):
Maybe they just are locator holes for lining up the plate at the same height and perfectly level every time before spot-welding. On assembly, temporary dowels could have held the plate in place while it was being zapped.
Maybe not, too.
