[TR] TR3A Windscreeen stanchions

When I removed my windscreen the machine screws were seized in the  nuts.  I 
drilled the heads off, however on the passenger side the nuts just  turned 
inside the cowl.  I went under the dash and found two very cleanly  cut circles 
in the sheet metal right at the fasteners inside the cowl.   These were like 
taking the top off a tuna can but leaving a small part still  connected so the 
cut circle can flip up.  The clean nature of these cuts  tells me that there is 
no way this was done with the cowl on the  car.  The drivers side has no such 
cuts, (that I can find) and the  nuts appear to be welded to the sheet metal 
as there is no play like with a  caged nut.
This has no real consequence, just a curiosity.  ??
