Hi Guys
John, you correctly stated how the above board was designed - with over-sized holes.
Many builders who go from eyelet or turret board construction to PCBs try to copy their hand-wired layout as closely as possible in an effort to not lose any "mojo". One way, is to do as your photo shows and have very large holes (drills) in the pads, which themselves should be generous in diameter to provide a large solder area. This mimics eyelets.
In other cases, like Mickey Corrieri's amps, he rotated the components to match their physical orientation in the hand-wired prototypes, with all the familiar "V" shapes and "W"s and "L"s we see so frequently.
Have fun
