Can anyone tell me what these two holes are for, jutting out from the seat stays?

Depends on the bike. I've got some on one bike which are for mudguards/rack and on another, it's because the frame is multi-use and can be fitted with disc brakes. What make and model is it?

I agree.

The two bigger holes are for mounting a rear disk brake caliper, the smaller threaded hole is for rack and\or mudguard mounting.

Cheers - it does indeed appear to be for a rear disc brake. When I got the bike it was one of those where the "designers" thought it would be a good idea to place front discs with rear V's instead of just unifying everything.

OMG are people still doing that? Last time I saw one disc/one V was in 1998
