Cylinder Baffles (slightly different, which side?)

I noticed a difference in size on the oval holes in my cylinder baffles. In fitting each side for side I couldn't see a reason for either hole to justify one side or the other. If it matters this is a '61 Lakewood with the oil fill tube in the lower section of the block. Thanks.

I will venture a guess that the one with the larger hole should be installed on the side with the Road Draft Tube.

Then one with the big hole is a for a road draft tube on the 1960-62 engines.

Craig replies: If I'm not mistaken, the small hole, between cylinders 2 and 4, is for the vertical thermostat rod present on 1960 engines.

Old memory. Being that I removed the upper fan shroud and thus the road draft tube umpteen years ago (to deal with rats) can I assume "the side with the road draft tube" is the right side viewed from the rear or said another way the side the 1-3-5 cylinders reside on? BTW, thanks for all the prompt replies.

In all actuality unless you do have a road draft tube it doesn't matter what side it goes on.
