They are for 'Lifting' the truck by a crane. There should be (2) more just like them on the rear frame. My, 02.
Corporal
They were there to allow the shackles, located on front an rear bumpers, to be used there for securing the trucks on a railcar or a crane and such. It is illustrated in the back of one of the TM's
68 M-715 MVPA #2710

They are used for:
Lifting with cables attched to the big U shaped pieces pinned to the front and rear.
Tie downs for rail cars and such.
Attach point for pulling the truck out of a stuck.
Can run a tire iron with a strong rope tied to it through the hole and with the rope between the tire iron and wheel, can be used as a self winching device.
Whacking your shins on when working around them.
