those are called shift rails..
and drillings when they machine those aluminum castings and bore the rails and detent springs balls etc.
they must then plug the holes back up to seal them most makers use welsch plugs of steel, but suzuki uses rubber, and bad glue
the glue used does not last 29 years, about 1/2 that, so use RTV silicon caulk , home house brand, 50 year rated caulk , on dry clean parts, no oil there.
or the blue RTV sealant. sold for cars, that is also good , alas more expensive
im not sure where this 3rd plug is,
to post images use the BBS codes, in the gallery photos you make.
part id 13 is seen here rubber plugs, and you can see it is for the detent balls clearly (and spring cap bolt on top)

add photos here.
to gallery, click gallery top right of page then click transmission, and add photo and then grab BBS code, (cut paste)
this tranny has 3 main parts
the box
the center dry extension casing and 4wd adapter to
the transfer case.
the center case has drain hole slot on the bottom so this casing is dry, at all times. 2 seals do that one for box front and 1 for box transfer case rear;.
Please use the gallery ,its free and works well.
also see here.
the FSM covers this, (1996 should be same)
