Could you ask Jet or Axminster?
They should be pretty helpful

According to the manual they are:

Headstock Indexing Hole: (M, Fig. 7)
Thread indexing pin into the indexing hole making sure that it locates in the spindle hole. There are 12 holes in the spindle 30° apart. There are three holes in the headstock casting that accept the indexing pin. These holes are 20° apart. The combination of holes will allow you to mark your workpiece for evenly spaced features.
