We know there is lots of information on the 59 er....

My question is what was the square on the slam panel there for,many say if this is not there then it's had a new front panel.
I'm just curious as cant see any reason for it..

I believe they were to help locate where to spot weld the wiring clip tags below?

 

"All 1959 slam panels have these square lumps on from both 101 cars until mid December 1959 when they were replaced with the normal flat panel.  Any car without them has had a new slam panel."

 

A press photograph of Morris body number 103 showing the square lumps:
