Can anyone tell me if their Smittybilt has these poorly machined holes along the outer aluminum frame? : overlanding

Bought a tent from 4WP. Opened it up and found these shitty holes along the outside of the aluminum frame. I have been trying to find out from Smittybilt support if this is indeed a factory and I still have no answers. The 4WP rep is telling me it is for the awning, which just doesn’t seem right. But if it were for an awning I don’t own, Im thinking this was resold as a new tent. If you have this tent, did it come with these holes on the frame? TIA
