Well, I am very certain that there was brass showing through

a brass sleeve that might have been shrunk onto the aluminum
casting. The brass would not have holes, which the aluminum
casting could have had (But I'm just guessing about why they
made it that way.)

Is your drum in good condition? Ours was full of
dust,
and 3 tracks had been ground down to the brass due to
dust packing under the heads.
You can relocate bad tracks as there are a couple of spare
tracks. And the drum is made of aluminium, not brass.
