But even that would need to show a hole of sorts?

It's so odd that you might think that it has to be genuine. If it is indeed ancient, I doubt that it could have been made like that originally, which makes me think that it might be a field repair.
Incidentally, I see from your latest list that we have our first example from Turkey. Do we have a context and/or a picture of it?

A plumbata from York itself?
