Phil, Bob's cats keep a wary eye on us at all times - mostly from under cover of the woods. If we dare piss them off, they piss on our trucks...nasty animals.

As for the mystery part, it is a kick panel that fits in the rear of the HUP on the wall that separates the front cab from the van. The cut outs are for the fold down table that is affixed to the wall. In the photo you see one table leg guide with a support welded to the side wall - a post military use mod as far as I know.

I am not certain about the round holes. The smaller holes look like they match the bolt pattern on the table leg guides. The larger holes are up for debate. I have not yet fit my personnel heater but think the hole is for the feed or return line for the hot water heater.

Any other theories?
