I THINK this is a Threaded Insert that someone put in there to fit a
licenceplate(holder) These act the same as a pop-rivet, but instead
of a pin theat breaks of you use a threaded tool to fit them.
After fitting them you remove the tool,
leaving a threaded sort of metal bushing in place.
I can imagine this looking molded...

I'm positive this ISN'T original.
