It's a security device. You put a padlock through it so no one can steal your crankshaft.

In opinion they are points for indicator pins when the cases are machined. They are located on the centerline of the cases, which is most likely the reference datum.
It could be also used for hoisting, but why machine them if that were their only function?
The 700 engine has them too, but not practically located for hoisting.Comment
