I'm not sure on others, but Dan Wittenberg's longbox does have two (one on each side) thumb/finger indentations on the box. Not holes, just indents. I have one, that I recently purchased. I have not owned many box calls. Six total, three of which are long boxes. Dan's is definitely different. The lid IMO is actually light and has give/flex to it. Not rigid or heavy like most are. His call is also quieter when handling. Meaning it doesn't make noise when you don't want it to. I like mine a lot! It's a lot better call than I'm capable of running at the moment, but it truly is the best overall boxcall I've used. Very pleased with the quality build, attention to detail; and customer service given with the purchase. Just thought I'd reply, since no one else has yet.
