A .030" hole drains off no oil pressure.
All three plugs you ask about are 3/8 NPT, but the front plugs can not be standard depth / lenght as they will block off oil feed holes .
To deal with this you can cut Brass plugs shorter and then tap the passages deeper, or order shorter steel plugs from Grainger or the like!
A hardened steel plug used for the rear will be a bitch to drill unless you anneal it first, then you can drill it with a big bit untill you have .050" wall thickness left and then blow thru it with a .030" bit, or you can just use a aluminum plug and make it easy.
