I don't know what drain plugs are.

maybe referring to the drain holes at each corner of the sunroof when open  ?  these often get full of crap over the years and overflow sometimes into the car itself and cause damp issues BUT can easily be simply poked through with a length of strimmer cord or such like ............  usually clears it ok

Avoid any car with bubbling around the windscreen. Until you remove the screen you do not know how bad it is.

Where the spare wheel sits there where two holes. I could see the ground, presumed rubber grommets of some type sat in them but had been removed. I'd call them drain plugs but I've probably got the wrong terminology!

Prob been removed due to water building up in the spare wheel well due to a leak (boot seal rubber ?) so If you lose the bungs then the water is not gonna build up, just pass straight out! A fix of sorts but best to stop water getting into car in the first place!

what you really want to see is the bungs in place and Dry dust in the spare wheel well then this indicates alls good as it has not just been cleaned out!

You could see if buying one from a european mainland country bears more fruit, I notice there seems to be more LPG conversions, use ft money converter to convert the euros cars are advertised in, see link, you could try all the other euro countries this ones germany, normaly known as 'shopping around'
