beseler red filter

The one they put in ever filter drawer in the lens stage for us, is it supposed to have a hold drilled in it?

I do not think there should be a hole. I looked at a new one from BH and it's just a square with no holes.

Maybe the previous owner wanted to hang it when not in use (?)

I don't think so...

I would think the hole would only be required if it's used for mounting the filter on a specific type of enlarger, & your filters been replaced with one from that different enlarger.
As long as the hole is outside of the light path it shouldn't be an issue.

well the hole is visible when its fully inserted via the drawer slide... and the lens board is removed and i look up inside things..

I suspect the red filter with a hole in it is to be mounted beneath the enlarger lens. Filter for the drawer never have a hole in them.
