Looks like a consensus - the flaps are useless in boxers. Perhaps they serve some form of expansion function (like a reverse crumple zone?) Maybe they are there to absorb extra pee for when you get lazy and don't quite shake enough.

I wonder if briefs, if they existed back then, were different during WWII. They had, for some items, a rationing regulation that clothing manufacturers could not apply fabric over fabric (e.g. sew on pockets...) Sounds like my next quest for useless information.

Thanks to all who replied.
