Okay - The 1929-41 Chevy Master Parts Book does not list a filler plug of any sort for the 1941 truck steering box. Next best/closest things is what's listed as a "Bolt, steering gear housing breather" for the 1938-40 truck boxes.

Perhaps the hole in the housing was GM's initial thought for venting the gear box differently for 1941, but later replaced by the vented filler plug in 1942??? headscratch
