Perhaps a hold over from the the days the wagon being a "commercial" in earlier years?

I can only guess why your hinge was prepared for a mirror. My guess? Yes, a "holdover". Is your car early as far as you know?
From my limited research of wagons, yes, '40 was the first year they were considered passenger vehicles. Prior to that, they were considered commercial.
