You can even see the drill angle in the picture. Front is drilled on a jig and the rear is drilled straight.
Why ? .. so front hanger is deeper ? ... to avoid necessary humungus belly weight ? probably both . ..Numby .. those weights dead center ???,, drilling today ..

No, Eddy, they are at the balance point of the rigged plug. That is a shade under 2 7/8" back on the medium and 3 5/16" back on the large. Everybody does it the same on this shape plug.

On the smaller one, does it look like the molten lead ran aft a little? Maybe the hole was doubledrilled, didn't hit right the first shot, left a bigger space for lead to run into?
