Thanks for posting the pic, definitely something unique.  Would be nice to have more examples.  Looks like a large pointed punch was used, much different than what most folks would describe as a punched hole... like maybe seen using conduit hole makers.

Most of the original holes for accessories I have seen were done with a hole saw and can leave an edge on the back-side like expected on some cars, like GT's with holes in the rad support for fog light wiring.

I've seen and worked some Mustangs that had some strange things that came out of the Metuchen, NJ plant. I worked on a 1965 A code GT Coupe with around 10.000 miles in the early eighties that had fender bolts on one side that were all star washer bolts and the other side had all flat washers bolts. This car had what appeared to be dated coded correct fenders. I've also rebuilt K Code engines that came out of the Metuchen, NJ plant that were not VIN # stamped on the bottom.
