What is the hole in the case?

Came into the hands of Minolta Af50 big finder date. I noticed a hole on the body through which the insides are visible. I looked on the Internet a number of photos with the same camera. Some of these photos also have a recess of the same shape, in the same place, but it is not through. What could it be?

Maybe there was a rubber plug?!

A chip on the hull.

In all the photos it looks like a chip. Perhaps this is a weak point of the body of this model, so he appeared there. On a cursory glance, I found four ads on sale at once without it, so there are more of them:

How is it that in some photos of the same camera the body is monolithic, but in these two different photos there is a notch of the same shape, in the same place as in my case?

The parties are different.

It is obvious that this is a chip, or at the factory the drunk operator did not notice the marriage; this fell into the batch.
