Hmmm. Looks like your car was the victim of a driveby shooting. Looks like
the shooter used a Mac-10 or other small bore semi-auto gun.
:-)
Seriously, it does look like there was some purposful bodywork done on
the car sometime in the past. Judging by the quality of the metal around
the holes, it looks like the damage was superficial and the remedial
action was done to a high standard.
Who knows what the original problem was. For that matter, maybe the door
skin was replaced and the new skin was marred. That's pretty common too.
