Help identify frame holes on 1955

Can anyone help me identify these holes at the front of my '55 F100 frame. The section shown is being boxed in so it is just in case I need to thread them for any reason. Bear in mind the frame is upside down. Thanks.

I know on my 54 when I took it apart...not all holes in frame were used. Left and right side mirrored each other. I would assume that some of them are where jigs were attached when frame was assembled to keep it straight.

Thanks. I know some are not used. I was particularly worried about whether the holes G and H were used for the strut going to the fender. There is also a tie onto the inner fender as well although I have no recollection of that at all and no photos.

Here is a pic of my frame. I have a 223 and you can see the same holes.

There is a small splash-pan that fits under the radiator cross-member. Hole "G" is for the end of that pan.

The pan is installed with self-tapping hex-head bolts. Sorry, I don't have one handy for a picture.
