I've had this crankset in a drawer for awhile and never really looked at it. The outer hole in the big ring is countersunk on the back side but the middle hole is not on either ring.

Any wisdom in why the extra holes are there?

Even though it doesn't look like it, they may be for a triple setup, they made plenty of them and some had some very serious drillium for factory spec.
