Packard offers several styles of rear windshields or Tonneau shields in the 34 accessory catalog. One of them has a similar split glass arrangement to that in your photo but the glass contour and mount is different. There are also some side glass pieces with that offering but maybe those were removable.

No idea how long Packard offered the rear windshields since I didn't see any in later books. I suppose it is possible the shield styling evolved over years or had more than one version. The mounts could also have been different to suit the model but at least for a while they were sanctioned options.
