My WC53 has 2 holes as you described that have bolts I them that hold a rub plate. On the fender there is a rub pad that makes contact with the rub plate. This keeps any static electricity from building up from hood movement and arching to the body. There is also a ground strap between the hood halves. If you notice there are numerous ground straps all over the 3/4 ton bodies and chassis to stop any static build up.
I am not sure if this was done for the radios or to stop explosions occurring via arching between the truck and explosives and ammo loaded in the trucks.
