What I found during a brief web search was that Mariner 10 indeed
measured Mercury's field in 1975, and that Surveyor was to determine the
orientation of Mars in 1996.  The only result on Mercury's orientation
is in my Astronomy 101 book, stating that it points in the same
direction as Earth's.  I could find no statement on which direction
Mars points to, but the image on the page mentioned below IMPLIES this
same direction too - Mars viewed from the side, with a graphic of the
magnetic field alongside this photo.

    Mariner 10 ...  Instruments on board the spacecraft were
    designed to measure the atmospheric, surface, and 
    physical characteristics of Mercury and Venus. 
    Experiments included television photography, 
    MAGNETIC FIELD, plasma, infrared radiometry, 
    ultraviolet spectroscopy, and radio science detectors. ... 
    Mariner 10 reached Mercury on March 29, 1974, 
    passing over the planet at 705 kilometers (438 miles) 
    above the surface. A second encounter with Mercury 
    occurred on September 21, 1974, at an altitude of 
    about 47,000 kilometers (29,200 miles). The sunlit 
    side of the planet and the south polar region were 
    photographed. A third and last Mercury encounter, 
    at an altitude of 327 kilometers (203 miles), occurred 
    on March 16, 1975. About 300 additional photographs 
    were obtained along with MAGNETIC FIELD 
    MEASUREMENTS.

    The Mars Global Surveyor is designed to orbit Mars 
    over a two year period and collect data on the surface
    morphology, topography, composition, gravity, 
    atmospheric dynamics, and MAGNETIC FIELD ...  
    All instruments except the magnetometer are stored 
    on the nadir equipment deck ... A magnetometer/electron 
    reflectometer sensor is attached to the end of each 
    solar array ... A magnetometer will be used to 
    determine whether Mars has a magnetic field, and the 
    strength and orientation of the field if one exists.
