They are for checking spoiler deployment when doing your control checks
You are lucky if you can see the spoilers and ailerons, let alone anything further back, they were never intended for reversing.

The charted runway data for that airport shows that the aircraft should have been able to turn around, 56 feet versus 75 width, but the length is inadequate for landing or takeoff if you have any fuel onboard
