In addition to the benefits to the next surveyor, another reason it might have been done that way is, if it's just far enough inside the property, the neighbor likely has little if any say in the matter (or obligation to pay for it). At a guess, the little buttresses sticking out from the wall exactly matched the survey line.
Well spotted. I didn't consider the buttress but i'd say youre correct on the buttress beingon the boundary line. The wall fronts council land / road so I assume the owner would have paid for it themselves.
