Unhappy Sports filter box

I have just recieved my new sports filter box - I have not installed it yet because I am waiting for the Green filters from SLKworld to turn up.
The new box would appear to be identical to the original - except it has an additional opening on each side. This is about a 1" round hole on the curved end of the round section immediately adjacent the filters - you will see the area if you look on the back quarters of the cover.
This hole has a very fine filter cloth covering it.
There is also a small rubber diaphram on the bottom under the filters - I am not sure what that does .
Bearing in mind the new box is pretty expensive- and the grey panel on the top does not match the silver bit on the other half - which means a small but complicated paint job - I would have to say that if I had known what little difference there was I would have modified my existing one which would be a really simple job.
It also comes with new filters - which are also superfluous.
