I have no idea what this is or what its for... it came with parts for my 1942 Chevy 1-1/2 ton. It is about 4 inches wide, and the notch appears to be pinion related?? I should probably mention that my truck is a G506 4x4 Army truck, with a front and rear differential. I have completely rebuilt both, and don't recall seeing this when doing so.

Jeeze... That's easy! EVERYBODY knows what *that* is. Even my granddaughter knows that one. I'll let her tell you when she logs in.

Plate that goes over the hand brake to support the sponge seal that sits on top. It helps keep the seal up against the floor board.

I have one on the hand brake. Not sure what purpose it serves but I’m sure it helps with the rattling.

If you are missing one component, you'll need an abundance of the others two.
