Peter,
The third hole is for a rivet that closes the upper section of the leading edge of the quiver. Earlier quivers were not sewn between the leading edges' two suspension points. Those that had "L" shaped wooden frames were riveted through the frames up to the lower suspension point. Those with a wooden base only were sewn up to the lower suspension point.

The middle-of-the-inside-face ring for the third strap is attached closer to the leading edge in several later quivers I have seen. It is possible that when the strap was threaded back through the pockets it caused them to wrap around the body slightly. I am finishing another of these quivers soon so I will put in two rings at different positions and see how they work.
