Mystery Holes

I'm restoring a 1963 Tradewind, Ohio manufacture in case that might be important. Adjacent to the front window, curbside, are two-quarter size holes. Each of the large holes has a couple of small holes next to them. One of the holes is about half way up the side of the window, the other is about a foot below the window. It seems like the holes are too big and too far apart to be related to a radio antenna. I'll probably just rivet a patch over each of them. But, if I can figure out what they were for it might be neater to find the correct replacement widget. I'm guessing they were for either a flag pole standard or maybe a TV antenna assembly.

Any ideas?

The photos at vintageairstream.com will help you. My guess is holes for the antenna mount.

The pic below, from vintageairstream, would be consistent with the hole locations on my trailer. Does it look like TV?

Yes, TV antenna.
Rich

P.s. The unit has a swivel, operated from inside the trailer by a small handle similar to the window operator. One hole is for the handle and the other is for the wires.
