OK, thanks Garey. I had never seen those with the seven smaller holes in
them. Just the plugs and the ones with screen mesh. Looked like a
bakelite tube socket with the pins pulled.

Kees -

Actually those are "ventilation" hole plugs rather than tube sockets. 
They
are the same as the (usually) bright nickel plated hole plugs that snap
into
an unwanted hole in a chassis.  Easier to punch a single large hole than
drill a bunch of small holes.   I have also seen them with a screen mesh
center, all nickel plated.
