The hole looks like it's for a set screw to me, but I agree the cap is just a decorative cover. Not sure what this would be used for though as I don't understand what function a collar and cap like this would do mechanically.

Edit: I see OP mentioned the holes don't go through so you're right they'd be for some special tool.
