Yes, I have combed through the owner photos on the CJ3B page and haven't found anything.
With the doors on, the holes are covered, but I haven't looked to see if the metal door frames and the holes line up.

Having a matching set on the other side does suggest it was intentional.  The door fabric (vinyl/canvas) should wrap around the frame and provide "some" protection but it isn't unusual to find previous owners adding their own preferences.  I could imagine, unless relatively thin, any added bumpers would also act as spacers to take away more of the minimal seal from the frame/fabric being held against the tub.  Have you studied images of any of the other "modern" models from the '60's to see if any of them have similar holes?

That sounds like as good a guess as any. Nice looking Jeep.

My 1964 CJ3B has some mystery holes. There are two 1/4" holes in the driver's side of the tub, and two more holes in the exact same position on the passengers side. There was nothing in the holes when I got the jeep. Since this Jeep had a top, is it possible that there may have been some rubber bumpers in these holes to protect the paint from being scratched by the door frames? At any rate, that's probably what I will use them for.
