Yes, you could insert a missing character, but it was not supported.
:-)

You would duplicate up to the missing character.  Then firmly press down
on the card at the read station and hold it against the bed so that the
rollers could not advance it while you punched the missing character
into the card at the punch station.  Then let go of the first card and
DUP to the end of the card.  Voila!
