I think this round lid is to install air supply hose for wading in deep water. Bought the same cover from Norway few years back.

I like Dusonn's suggestion but I can't see why the cover needs to be domed so much when a nearly flat plate would do the job just as well.

Dusson, thanks for the pic.
The data plates are are the common ones found in Fords?

The engine cover image in post 5 shows the domed top cover, but also a pressed, deep cover at the dip-stick access, which from memory is normally a flat piece with a foot, the whole pivots sideways to gain access to the dip stick. It is normally secured by a stud with a wing nut. Why the more difficult to manufacture deeper/pressed cover?

So more differences than just the domed access cover on the top of the engine cover.
