PROXY protocol contains source and destination addresses and 
ports.  Neither destination address nor destination port are 
provided in nginx variables.

If you want to add some, consider using 
$proxy_protocol_server_addr and $proxy_protocol_server_port, to be 
in line with $server_addr and $server_port variables.
