Whether he bandages for all the time before that is unknown, since such displays of bandages before Shisui's death are always shown in anime filler arc's, therefore they're not canon. :/

That's not true at all. In Nagato's flashback of the Third Shinobi World War in chapter 446, there's an image of a younger Danzo with the bandages. Likewise, he met Kabuto before obtaining Shisui's eye, and was again shown with the bandages. Both of those instances come from the manga.
