They're plugs for oil passages on the timing side below the timing cover. In the manual page 36 http://archives.jampot.dk/book/Owners_m ... Manual.pdf
The cylinder oilfeed is between the crankcase and cylinder. The gasket has a cutaway to accommodate it. The leak from the forks, you need a thinwall socket or box spanner 5/16"BSF. Better to fit a new fibre washer under the bolt.
Where in Lancs are you? We have an active section to which you will be made welcome.

Can't think of any use for the 1/4" ball bearing on your bike. The barrell feed from memory is smaller. It lives under a screw and probably hasn't been disturbed. Some members blank it off. The 3 screw plugs are on the outside of the crankcase. Look at the timing cover, down a bit. We've a few members in your area who are familiar with singles.
