What are these holes for?

On both sides of the mid cabin area between the armrests, there are 5 holes I cannot account for. Can someone direct me to the appropriate DWG and/or text?

Three of the holes contain nutplates and two are just there. What these hole locations to be used for?

The kit is an RV-8 matched hole of very recent vintage.

Mid Cabin Holes

These holes are used to hold the rear throttle assembly in place on the left side.

Now that makes sense! Can you direct me to a DWG that illustrates an optional rear throttle assembly? Also, what would account for the identical hole pattern located on the right side of the cabin?
 
RE:

When you order the optional rear throttle kit it comes with a drawing that details the install. I would assume since the new kits are prepunched that the holes are mirrored on both sides but I am not certain about this. My older kit does not have holes on the right side.
