Its normal, the oil pump mounts with only one of the three threaded holes there and the other two are unused.
Cool thanks..wonder why they did it. Maybe they knew the oiling system was going to suck and left room for improved pump design Lol
You know it does look like an easy place a guy could fab a spacer/gasket to stick in between the pump and the block to get the strainer to sit a little lower in the pan. Although there are easier ways to do that, but I'm thinking more of a manufactured product from someone that knows what they are doing.

I think its because the 7m block is basically a 6m block with some small changes, they probably just didn't get rid of the holes for the 7m but they were probably used for the 6m. Interesting idea about the spacer, but I wonder if that might cause problems from the gears meshing differently with it raised up more.
