No worry my friend,
on the photo there seems to be a shallow groove over the holes. IMHO it was covered from the outside by a strip of some material. So on the right hand side of the diagram the holes are not visible (shown).
There are allways propelant gasses running in front of the projectile. There has to be a barrier so they do not enter the internals of the projectile.
I think there are two holes shown in the diagram, just where you marked them. one in the cut, angled as in your photo, one on the back wall with axes (blue on my pic).
As Bob said, it would seem to be the projectile he pasted in. Further info below.
· 130 mm parachuteless illuminating (беспарашютный осветительный) projectile for the 130/50 calibre B-13 (Б-13) naval (coastal) single turreted gun and twin-turreted gun systems such as the B-2-LM (Б-2-ЛМ) and B-28 (Б-28). · Projectile, full URAV index code: A3-SB-46 (А3-СБ-46). · Projectile, short marking code: SB-46 (СБ-46). · Weight: 34.5 kg · Rounds (provisional data): A4-ZSB-46 (А4-ЗСБ-46), A4-ZSB-46BP (А4-ЗСБ-46БП) and A4-ZSB-46N (А4-ЗСБ-46Н). · Payload: 3.01 kg of illuminating composition and 30 g of DRP (ДРП) black powder. · Fuze: MT-6 (МТ-6) or MT-6D (МТ-6Д).
I've highlighted and annotated the image to show the holes more clearly.
