Default Oil pressure/temperature sensors in my block

Can any one tell me what this sender/sensor is in my block? Is it for oil pressure or temperature or neither?



This is my turbo feed

They both look like pressure switches, not big enough to be pressure sender for pressure gauge as they are generally a lot bigger.
Maybe the higher one was just used to plug a hole up ?, are you even sure the higher one is in the oil gallery, as it looks suspiciously like a block drain ?
