Default Holes in Hood?

Hi guys can anyone confirm for me the underside of the hood and the empty holes?

My vehicle's front clip was painted, so I do not know how it is supposed to look or if any trim or plugs are missing.

The leading edge of the hood - weather stripping maybe?
The line of holes below the latch - weather stripping maybe?
The two double walled holes - (should probably have plugs)

Just want to know if my representation is normal or did a body shop bastardize it? I assume its normal and they are there for welding the hood together.

Mine is the same and never been touched by a body shop. Maybe its there for a planned weatherstrip or to not let moisture build up in the hood structure?? I always thought it looked funny too.
