Hi!

I found this cover plate at one of Gen. Patton's training camps in the Mojave Desert. It was in the motor pool area of the camp. Wondering if anyone could ID it for me? Could've been off anything from a jeep to a tank recovery vehicle and transporter. They used all types of vehicles there (sorta a prelude to the Yuma Proving Grounds). I'm just guessing, but the large hole would be to turn a handle or knob or such in the direction of the arrow, and the two smaller holes are finger holes to assist in the removal and replacement of the panel. Any help would be appreciated.

 

Thanks!
