I'd like to see some of those. I don't think I've ever see that documented.

There's a little plug in it which I always assumed was to keep the 
wind lever from scratching the top too much, but probably it's to 
allow access for some adjustment. I would tend to cover it ASAP, as 
extra holes in camera bodies are generally of no benefit and in fact 
rather detrimental, as they let in light and dirt.
