believe the holes were for emission purposes
An air pump used to pressurize the gallery below those ports. A hollow shoulder bolt was in that hole used to carry that air through the bolt into the exhaust stream to burn off HC (unburned Hydrocarbons). You can TIG them shut. Weld the end of the bolt shut and reinstall them, or buy the solid aluminum bolts from Racing Beat and install those.
In any case the holes need to be plugged in some way.

Yes welding up the hole hole in the exhaust sleeve has been done for a long time. It is supposed to help air flow. Since I don't have a flow bench I can't say how much it really helps.
