spru Bedrock of the Community United States 12477 Posts	Posted 12/23/2016 02:13 am It looks like it was drilled. If the drill is held in the hand a drill bit will wander and can create a more elliptical hole and follow it around the worse it gets. The straighter lines may be from the plating breaking off during the drilling? The reverse may be from pressure or heat or both from drilling, deforming the metal. That's my guess.
