Mystery screw in a vw crankcase

Does anybody know what the Allen screw marked in red is for?

The image isn’t from my aircraft, but I can’t find any description of what this screw does in any of the manuals. From the position I’m guessing it’s to do with the oil system:

Oil gallery plug?

I did wonder, but why would they use a screw rather than a plug, which is what they’ve used everywhere else?

Maybe a field repair where a suitably sized plug wasn’t available?

Overhauling the VW?

No, they all come that way. Just trying to get to know it.
