Default welded crankshaft oil holes

I am having engine work done to my 1946-1948 ,59AB engine. Part of the work will involve the crankshaft which was re-ground .010 - .010 .in 2014.
The machinist that is doing the work is puzzled why the oil holes in the crank were all welded shut except one (middle one I think ).
The work on this engine in 2014 was done by an experienced flat head mechanic.

Would you share any thoughts on why this was done ?.
