I spotted a plaque with knives in Beau Geste (1939) and thought it might have been used in "Mirror, Mirror". But after noting that it's a different color, and different knives, and the round things relocated, I dubbed it "close but no cigar." But the Star Trek Prop Enthusiasts group on fb thinks it's still possible it's the same, just reworked. The movie was a Paramount production, but Desilu was bought by them during the filming of this very episode, so it's unlikely the production yet had access to Paramount stores of props etc.... unless there was a casual "hey, you don't own us yet, but you will soon, can we just come over and check out some stuff?" "Yeah, okay."
Using Mythbusters standards, I mark it as "plausible".
