New Waterpump missing threads?

It looks like two of the screw holes on the new pump are missing threads, its smooth. See yellow circles in the pic. In the old water pump that came out the holes were threaded. See the close up pics of the two holes in the old water pump that came out. Did this change for some reason? I have a 2004 e55. I emailed FCP, but its the weekend. Has anyone come across this?
sorry im not sure how to make resize the pictures
