What's the point of the little plastic plugs in the trunk bed?

There are three of them under the foam liner. (well actually, I only have two... anyone know where I can find one? I know they are not needed, but I want to make this car as "complete" as possible).

Why did Porsche bother designing these holes and then design plugs for them?

Drain holes in case I want to use the trunk as a kiddy pool?

Also, one is a bit smaller than the other two, and appears to be threaded.

Have a plug you can spare?

Thanks!
