I had a TR3A that was arranged that way, apparently from the factory. There
was no hole in the blanking plate for the RH steering column either.
But, it seems that the consensus is that the vent tray drain should stick
through the blanking plate, and the battery drain goes down through the
transmission tunnel.
BTW, when driving in heavy rain, it is quite possible for rainwater to
accumulate in the battery box, and hopefully find it's way down the drain.
My more recent 3A had that drain blocked, and I found rainwater sloshing
about several times. I suspect that having the area under the battery
remain wet contributes to rapid rust (in addition of course to the effects
of spilled battery acid).
