That just says it was never installed, Joe.

Yes and no.  Once a configuration was approved for a particular 
airframe, the aircraft manufacturer would drill or punch the necessary 
cable access holes for the series that they were making. They seem to 
have moved these things around from series to series due to combat 
experience, as well as making quick field modifications when it seemed 
desirable to do so, so the depots and line maintenance organizations had 
a stock of them for quick responses.
