Hello BCN

I found similar beads listed in Terrance Tangs book as coming from Iron Age sites in Burma

They all have large holes not the very tiny micro drills used later.

First picture longest bead is 55mm x 6mm hole approx 4mm
Smallest bead 32mm x 6 mm hole approx 4mm

Second picture longest bead is 30mm x 5mm hole approx 3.75mm
Smallest bead 15mm x 5.25mm bead hole approx 4mm

maybe a jasper bead or 2 included in pictures
