It's for the small square loudspeaker for the radio sets (LS-7, LS-166 and LS-454 are typical examples). They look like this:

Ok what about the hinge is it a bubba mod.

From what I can see, that looks like a latch bolt. The arm of service added those to the M38 jeeps to stop the passenger seat jumping forward and having an unfortunate interaction with the windscreen.

I thought the M38A1's had a spring retainer fitted to the body panel side? Confused

The barn door sliding bolt latch is a field addition per MWO ORD G1-W50 Dated 4 OCT 56. The M38A1's produced from about 1965 and up had the spring type catch for the pax seat on the right side.

My latch was actually brass-tone, just like you'd put on a cabinet door.

The Army MWO actually had a part number and that latch was steel.

Mine was steel with brass-tone finish.

Looks like someone went to the hardware store and bought whatever was available.
