I recently bought a bike equipped with a Fox 34 AWL suspension fork (pictured below).

Fox 24 AWL

As it is shown on the picture, the left leg has 5 mounting points: the 3 lower ones are clearly identified: caliper and fender. The right leg has only one mounting point, for the fender.

What could be the purpose of the 2 upper ones on the left leg? Fox's page speaks about a "undisclosed new safety feature"special mount for a soon to be available, next level safety feature, which doesn't really help. They are on the 'inside side', so can't be used as mounting points for bags, as it is commonly the case in gravel forks (and if it were the case, they should have been on both sides anyway).

Purpose of some "mounting points" on a suspension fork? (left rear side, 2 eyelets)
