Shall I just pop a couple of holes on each side, wouldn't at the lowest point on the underside be the best place to allow condensation to drain out?
Oddjob:
I'll take a pic of the 500 arm, it may be that the hole is there but so blocked and painted over that you can't see it.

7th pic, you can see the hole.

I'll go out and wire brush it to see if it's there, why would they put it there and not at the lowest point to allow draining? Water will pool in the bottoms on those

It could be because if they put the hole in the bottom it could potentially allow water to find it's way in especially when you consider this is directly behind the rear wheel and subjected to the spray thrown off the rear tyre.
