My BT7 had about 20 holes drilled into the boot floor by the dpo. I figured
he could not locate z boot lid seal so he drained the water out of it.....

both cars had small--I'd guess 5/16" dia--holes on either side of the boot

way in from the sides--on the squarish, raised portion of the boot
floor--the pressed-in, 'embossed' part of the panel-- in front of the gas
tank strap T-bolt holes .

they're on a raised (I think--maybe not) portion of the boot floor so
wouldn't be useful for that and, IIRC, there are no pins, studs, etc. on the
gas tank that would require relief.
