Thanks to those who replied.  For future reference, I sent an email to Clevite (Dana Corp) and here is there reply...
 
"As of 9/17/2003 the following part numbers and all undersizes will no 
longer be manufactured with a parting line oil hole. Originally these bearings 
were designed with a half circle type notch on the parting line (see picture below). 
When the bearings are installed into the connecting rod this created an oil 
hole at the bearing parting line. Our engineers have determined that this oil hole 
is no longer necessary and removing it will not effect the performance of 
these bearings."
 
Guess everything I learned about bearings many years ago no longer stands...!  :D
