You should have a rubber plug in that drain hole for the TC.
Hole is in what is called a bell housing.
The part name of it is = "PLUG Converter Access"
The Ford base part number is = 7N171
By the way a E350 and a Super Duty are two different vehicles.
A E350 is a van type and a Super Duty is a truck type like a F450/550.
The most of the parts will not interchange.

I do not think so.
They have two different part list.
Besides Fords Super Duty for the van (motor home type) is the F53.
And a F53 sure is not an E350.
The Super Duty has four disc brakes and a E350 has drums in the rear.

Names change from year to year and we are not talking about 2006 or 2001.
The 2000 E350, F53 & F-Super Duty have separate shop manuals from Ford.

Not only does my '99 have Super Duty tags on the fenders - it lists as a Super Duty when you decode the VIN.

Just look at the VIN number in the the 1999 Ford shop manual and you have a Super Van not Super Duty. There is not a listing for Super Duty in the Econoline Shop Manual.
Here are the listings:
Positions 5 through 7 of the VIN indicate vehicle line, series and body type.
E11 — Econoline Club Wagon
E31 — Econoline Club Wagon (Heavy Duty)
S31 — Econoline Club Wagon (Super Club Wagon)
E14 — Econoline E-150 (Cargo Van)
E24 — Econoline E-250 (Cargo Van)
E27 — Econoline E-250 (Commercial Cutaway)
E29 — Econoline E-250 (Commercial Basic)
E30 — Econoline E-350 (RV Cutaway)
E34 — Econoline E-350 (Cargo Van)
E37 — Econoline E-350 (Commercial Cutaway)
E39 — Econoline E-350 (Commercial Basic)
S24 — Econoline E-250 (Super Van)
S34 — Econoline E-350 (Super Van)
E40 — Econoline E-450 (RV Cutaway)
E47 — Econoline E-450 (Commercial Cutaway)
The Super duty is the F53 Motorhome in 1999 and the parst do not interchange with the E-series vans.

Does this reflect a difference between the engineering/service aspect and the marketing aspect?
While I'm not arguing about the VIN codes in your service manual -- I've got S31 - "Super Club Wagon". I can even live with the Super Duty badging as a marketing ploy. What confuses me is the fact that I ran the VIN decoder from Ford and they listed the S31 code as "Super Duty". You'd think that Ford Corporate would get their tools to read consistently to prevent such confusion.
Go figure...

The VIN decoder from Ford should have used the information from the Ford shop manual so if it says something different than the shop manual they need to fix their decoder.
The shop manual and diagrams sheets from Ford is what all the repair manuals copy from. It is the only source of information that the other manuals and on-line web sites use as in ALLDATA (aka Motors Manuals) and the other manuals you buy at book stores or auto part stores.
Yes it does sound like they are using Super as marketing ploy.

Here's the response I got from Ford:
"Thank you for contacting the Ford Motor Company Customer Relationship Center regarding the body type of your 1999 Ford E-350.
In an effort to assist you, we have researched your inquiry and according to our resources the body type of your 1999 Ford E-350 Super Duty XLT (4x2) is classified as a Heavy-duty Wagon."
It doesn't really matter to me what you call it - as long as its a Ford.
