Do you possibly have something that could help?
Not a far as I can see, its in the outlet shown on the left and it has an internal screw thread to take a pipe, it sits at the bottom of that hole, probably held on place by similar 50 year old gloop that the rest was, the difference here is that I can't get to push it out from underneath.

Those holes were likely slight casting flaws. A water based cutting fluid might well have corroded the casting too, making them worse. You can just see the start of pinholing in those first photo's you posted for that casting, where that second hole appeared. The heat from the welding will have finished that hole off.
Was all of the metalwork so clean when you got it, or have you blasted the metal after stripping it?
