Actually they're oil ports. Yhe significant difference is that the head and BB are not closed to the frame. If you use a grease injector on these, you'll (if you get carried away) pack the entire frame with grease.

OTOH, if you use the ports to inject a drop or two of oil, it'll refresh the grease, and extend the lube cycle.

BTW - if the OP replaced G40 rims with Nisi, he moved them closer to the original, which were like Nisi. G40's didn't exist when that bike was built.
