Nope, there is a separate cut-out in the styrofoam where the cables were
packed. The cutout I mentioned is about 3" in diameter, about 4" deep, and
has a square bit of cardboard fitted into it. It looked about the right
size for a wall-wart to fit into.

Commodore's 1520 (mine at least) has an enclosed paper roll hanger on the
back of the unit. It seemed to be attached from the factory.
