Default Can't find the part number on these....

When I took the transmission tunnel trim panels off my D2 recently (drains!) I found some chunky foam padding behind the drivers side one.
It was fairly high up, almost alongside the RNS, and to put it mildly, doesn't look very OEM. No part numbers.
I have absolutely no idea why it was used, unless there was some sort of vibration or annoying rattle - there certainly isn't with the panels off.

I did find some odd remnants of cabling, tape on the wiring looms and some small marks that suggest a handsfree phone kit was installed and later removed so maybe it was related to that?

For your delight (and critique) here's a picture of it:
