Timing Cover Gasket

Hello everyone. I am rebuilding an 89 F250 with a 460. I have a fel-pro gasket set kit. The issue is the timing cover gasket has an extra hole on each side second hole up from the bottom legs. Not sure what they are for. I called Fel-Pro and they didn't either. Has anyone else come across this during their rebuild. Not sure if I should get another gasket from a different manufacturer (they don't have the extra holes) or use what I've got.

It works, I remember same with mine.
If you look at your block, does it have those holes?

Google 460 vs 429 timing cover, you will see iron timing covers have bolt holes there.
