Chrysler starter spin down time

So nobody here knows what the little hole in the black motor housing is for? I noticed some of the starters for sale online have them and others don't. Just wondering if a screw is supposed to be in there or what the heck its purpose is. Wouldn't dirt get into the motor?

This is only a guess but maybe the hole is where a tag was attached with a rivet.

I understand how you feel, I had a mini-starter on a Mopar, despite the advantages I missed that special sound.
