       All my transaxle Alfas have gone to different homes, so I cannot look. 
 However you could poke a nail or something up into the holes to see how deep 
they are.  Then remove a bolt from another hole and try to screw it into the 
hole.  I think the bolts should all be 7 mm (11 mm wrench), but am not sure on 
the Alfetta.
       There are no bolts attaching the oil pan from inside the pan on any 
Alfa that I am aware of.
