I got to thinking a little more about this question.
Fram a technical standpoint, there is only a single channel output from 
the radio.  It could drive a front speaker, and a rear speaker, there 
were no other provisions that I know of that would have allowed it to 
power 2 rear speakers.  I do not recall seeing any 1957 vintage stock 
auto radio that split speaker outputs to allow dual rears and keep the 
front.
