Those are not factory made.?
Perhaps someone had some form of a collet adapter.?
If you don’t want them visible, screw allen set screws in them and add a drop of Loctite.?

I own one of the subject lathes, made about 1948. In my efforts to get it back to working condition I notice two 5/16-18 threaded holes in the headstock casting, below the spindle (see attached image). Can anyone help me understand what these threaded holes were for?
