The gasket should go between the outside of the tub and the overflow drain
pipe.
If there is none, it may leak, which could explain why the drain holes were
caulked shut.

With the proper gasket in place, the OP can caulk around the plate.
Look at the bottom of the plate for a weep slot .... do not caulk that
shut or the tub will overflow.

Why would he want to?

The water went down the drain, as it is supposed to.

I appreciate all the advice. After further cleaning and inspection
with a flashlight, it appears that the rubber gaskets are in place in
both tubs after all. They were just covered in a layer of filth and
slime so they weren't readily visible. Sorry for the confusion, but
thanks for the help.
