Default Oil Pan Help!!!!

Does anyone have their oil pan off an gen 3 or LS1 engine? I just bought a truck oil pan, and one of the two little bosses is drilled out (on the back drivers side) Basically, I can look through the pan rail, into the oil filter area. It almost looks factory, but I have nothing to compare it to. Any help is greatly appreciated, I am trying to get this motor back together. Thanks!!!

Yes, I have a pan laying in the shop off of a '99 TA.

Can you take a pic of the area you are questioning? I will then take a pic of the same area for comparison.
