They’re for downtube derailleur shifters. Problem Solvers makes caps to cover them if you’re not going to use them and don’t want to remove them.

Old Peugeots are weird man.

Makes for a sweet 1×8 setup using a downtube shifter. If you got a more modern wheelset/hub, you could squeeze in a 10 hub between the dropouts and made a great 1×10 touring or gravel bike. Steel frames have a lot of flexibility, literally and figuratively. Makes for a great quality of ride.
