I do like George's post showing these used as pillars, but you would need a
number of them for that. I have only a few of these (a small handful from
the pre-minifig era, and then two or three from circa 1980 where the smileys
wiped off from excess play with sticky-kid hands).
A fine-tip Sharpy permanent marker could replicate a smiley (or any face,
as hinted at). You need a steady hand though. Before the days that TLC
produced modified faces, I used to use a felt-tipped marker to make grumpies
and arched eyebrows and such -I found the felt-tipped could be wiped off
with a damp tissue if it wasn't on for more than a few days (which meant I
could modify the faces only temporarily).
My prefered use, however, for these is to replace smileys and the like that
are found on the front of Pirate Ships -the blank ones look fine there, and
it gives me extra faces (sometimes female) to use on my minifigs.
As you said you work mostly in Castle, I think perhaps your own suggestion
of hiding them under visored helmets might be the best choice in the end...
Or perhaps you could use them as catapult shot... (hmmm...)
