I doubt this because of the age of the vehicle, but I've seen newer ones where the left over flash from the molding process covers the hole, but the flash piece is usually very thin and will break off when pressed.
Would like to see pics also. Though depending on if the one side you say has opposite or same side holds open (2 hold side), two things that pop into my head here. One you might have a odd variant, which is not totally far off with Joes, if the holds are opposite. Or two I would say it might have been glued in place by someone before if same side (if you are not the original owner) as being these would some times just fall off with turning the gun upside down. I have seen pegs on these older items break cleanly off as nighthawk points out too. The flashing though I would say less likely, but still a possibility.
