There's suspicion it was one of those factory floor mods that Leo Fender or Freddie Tavares made after production started, but no one has any evidence of who did it or why. No tech I know has seen an original without that part.
The 59 and 60 Bassman apparently also differ ever so slightly from the official documentation in a couple of minor ways, just a couple of component values here and there. It's still an amazing amp when built to plan.
