I have no idea, not least because there's no scale. I assume the finished item will be basically cylindrical and that's just a section....
It's the two chamfered faces that intrigue me, one inside and one out.
It looks as if it's designed to push into a circular hole in a sheet of plastic or metal but then have something fixed from behind - odd.

Maybe for when you have to cut/drill out the rear numberplate fixings and want something more reuseable?
