Top of dashboard above central air vents

Ok, what is the rectangular groove for above the centre console air vents in the middle of the dashboard? It looks like it should pop up to reveal a shallow recess/storage compartment or similar. Mine is fixed. Most odd.
 
Purely cosmetic it's part of the dash, in fact there is little room beneath it. Some members have experimented in the past, search and you will see.

Here's one...

It looks as if it needs a binnacle (is that the word?) for extra instruments, maybe oil pressure, oil temperature, voltmeter, ammeter. Similar to the one on a Mitsubishi Shogun.
 
My guess is its original purpose is the location for the removable lunchbox some of the very early mention.
