The blanking board was used to cover over tr radiator during cold weather. Same idea as a radiator cover on trucks in tue winter. Helps to get the engine up to running temps quicker.
Does nothing to help lessen the fan noise. Only way to do that is shut the engine off.
As for where it is stored I seem to remember seeing something saying it was stored behind the gunners seat back. It fits really well there and doesn't move around at all.
