The luggage rack normally used wellnuts and had one large-ish (1/2" dia) hole at each mounting point (6 or 8 depending) not those 2 small holes.
Maybe a real aftermarket (not dealer installed) one?
CB antenna would also have a single large hole wouldn't it?

I just noticed I posted the same pic twice here is the other side.
There are two small holes side by side on each side can't see how it would be a luggage rack but no other ideas. I guess I will just plug them.

Could be louvers..., but could still have been an aftermarket luggage rack.
The one that was on my '70 was hinged and would flip up so you could access the gas flap with luggage strapped in place. It did not use the typical "posts" that you see.
Of course GM never produced Corvettes with a "luggage rack option." They were all dealer installed options.
Mine had to come off because NCRS will ding you for it.
