R.:
How about this?: The hole is simply a vent to allow any
accumulated condensation a way to vent, rather than rotting
the sill from the inside out.

Nope Eric you're not, and if I failed to read your post correctly then I
apologize. And to add to what you have said, I spoke with Dave @ TRF
and he said for sure that replacement panels had them although he was
unsure of the original panels. You can confirm the original parts
question.
Dave said the holes, which are actually somewhat oval, were put there to
make rust proofing easier. Apparently there was no rust proofing done
at the factory, but a contractor did spray something in this area when
they arrived at the port. Must not have been the most thorough job
though give that this area is prone to rusting.
Anyway, mystery solved and once again, thanks to all those on the list
for their assistance.
