Slots in top of 47 cardboard glovebox

Was making a new glovebox for the 47 and found the old one has two factory holes -- more like slots about 1/4 wide and 3/4 long -- centered about an inch from front & back in the top. On later cars openings were for access to something above -- like the radio in case of the 55-6.

I can't see a reason for them on the 47 since it would appear there is nothing but the metal bottom of dash above. More out of curiosity, can someone think of a reason or some missing option as to why they were there.
