Can Someone ID this part?

Midway through my restoration and I found this part that was painted in the original Deep Night Blue but I have no idea where it came from. Thoughts?

AC delete plate. Covers the bulkhead penetration (for AC hoses) on the passenger side, near the bulkhead transition to the floor pan. Bolts to the inside of the bulkhead.

Wow thanks! Now I see where it would go, but I still kinda don't get what it does. Is it supposed to be cut like that?

 

[jallan]

Oops, meant firewall. Originally a solid cover, someone added the cutout.

If you add ac and need one with grommets for the hoses you can pull one off a Wagoneer. They have the same part on the firewall.

jallan you had me scratching my head for a minute there. I was wondering how in the world would A/C hoses be near the bulkhead for the half top.
