Ok, phew! Yes this makes perfect sense!
Bryanj:
Oil is fed from the gallery in the lower case to the mains then via crank drillings to the ends, holes go from top case upwards to cam so they have holes, never followed the holes on 2 and 4 but suspect feed to box or something
Oddjob:
Think they go to the little ends Bryan via the crank drillings.
Juitz, just checking but do your crankcase markings (on the bottom rear crankcase) have some letter A's.

Yes they're faint but all of them have a 1 & A stamped
McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
I think Ken is refering to the 5 letters stamped at the rear of the lower engine casing it will consist usually of A or B with the odd letter C.
Mine are AABBB its usually very visible in the alloy surface.
