Bottom cases dowel pins in when already put together?

Oh thank god. That is good news! Those holes just look exactly like the dowel holes in the cylinder head, so all of a sudden I though I missed something. Glad that isn't the case!
I saw some pictures on the internet where people have put bolts through those holes in the crank case. Is that normal prodecure, or do you guys just leave them empty?

I'm slightly confused in that I thought you had found the dowels left over after assembly rather than thinking the other holes should have dowels in them.
That must be a relief after the issues with the rear swing arm bearings.

No, I just noticed the holes all of a sudden, and fear struck that I might have forgotten something! Glad it wasn't the case! This project is not good for my poor nerves 😂

Nice Pun btw.
I know that feeling too well. I think a lot of us have had sleepless nights during rebuilds for both real & imagined errors.
