The long hallway before the endgame consists of the following rooms. I've marked rooms where GUARDIAN is local global with "G", WOODEN-WALL with "W", MIRROR with "M", PANEL with "P", CHANNEL with "C", ROSE with "R".
GUARDIAN is the Guardians of Zork. They are in MRG.
WOODEN-WALL is the short ends of the box. They don't block the hallway.
MIRROR and PANEL are the long ends of the box. They block the hallway.
CHANNEL is the channel the box moves along.
ROSE are the compass roses along the channel.
GUARDIAN is local global to MRBW, MRBE, MRAW and MRAE, where you can't see them.
That none of CHANNEL, ROSE, WOODEN-WALL, MIRROR and PANEL are local global to MRG. True, the only way to interact with them would be to use the invisibility potion, and you would probably only have one move where you could interact with them before the potion wears off.
That MIRROR and PANEL aren't local global to MRD looks inconsistent at first glance, but to be able to see them you'd have to rotate the box when it's at MRG and the guardians won't allow that. So that should be ok.
This will take some explaining...
