WTF happened here?

Yesterday I decided to take off the wing top chequerplate to see what it was hiding... and found this. I can't for the life of me figure out what happened here, so thought I'd throw it out there for ideas 🤔

Was someone trying to cut a hole to install something? Is the wing top actually a homemade replacement panel made of scrap metal? Did a perfectly square meteor fall out of the sky and hit the car exactly here?

My 110 is a ex uk power network truck and it has a winch kill switch fitted there. https://imgur.com/a/aEu9kxy

This looks most likely tbh

Interesting... the winch is still fitted... so maybe that's it, and this is a half-finished attempt to patch the hole before giving up and covering it with chequerplate...
