Oh, that square piece...
That square panel is where someone has cut out a section of the armour and then re-welded it back in.
I think it was done by the Army, educated assumption, as a training task; because most BGC that I have seen with steel cut out has been used for other things and not welded back in.
I have decided to leave it there as it tells a part of its story/history; however, the inside has been welded and ground down so that it is not seen.
I have attached a 'before' pic to show the cut & welded panel.
