Thanks to all who responded to my query.  Looks like Steele
Rubber is the place to go--have to get some measurements first--but
they are surprisingly expensive (almost $2 apiece).

The jury's split on whether these holes came with the car or were
an option ;)  It appears they came from the factory, though some
Listers' cars don't have them--especially on earlier models.  They
have a somewhat rounded edge, not like they were drilled.  

I'd like to find out someday what the purpose of the holes is/was, 
so if  anybody comes across some info please pass it along.   They
might have served some purpose; I can't imagine they'd be a 
manufacturing byproduct--like casting holes--on a box-steel
structure.
