After reviewing the link Rich sent me, I'm convinced this is the case.
Thanks all!

It most probably was a dedicated wave pallet and could have had top
side
hold downs. This would make more sense with a mass produced PCB.

Subject: Re: [TN] Selective Soldering
It is typically done using a fixture made of Durostone. This prevents
the
selective solder process, whether wave-soldering or selective
fountain/jet
soldering, from filling other holes or pads where solder is not
desired.
Some examples of these types of fixtures can be seen at
www.dmipallet.com.
These people make these fixtures and are the best in the world at it.
Believe me, I know, I've tried them all.
Another method would be to use a temporary solder maskant that is
available
in peelable or soluble form (peelable, low ammonia is best).
Both will contaminate your wash process, the peelable less so depending
on
how diligent the operator is at removing it prior to wash. Even when
peeled
some residue will remain on the pwb.

Subject: [TN] Selective Soldering
While inspecting a board produced by mass manufacturing techniques, I
noticed the backside had been selectively soldered. The areas where
through
hole components are located appear to have been gasketed off (as
detected by
observing the no-clean flux residue) by either the fluxing or
wave-like
processing. Any ideas as to how that was done? Its clear that the
board
wasn't wave soldered as there are open PTH's in the areas not soldered.
A
multi-nozzle solder fountain?
