Default ILTIS mystery body hole

Several Iltis have a hole about 2-inch dia drilled through the body on the driver side above the rear wheel well. there are four very small screw holes as well

Ive heard a number of opnions about what went there, but does anyone know positively what went there, and any photos or line drawings of
whatever fixture went there? either inside or outside.

While I could do body work on the jeep to fill in the hole, Id much prefer to get the actual fixture to put back in the hole.

Ive added a photo.. If anyone has a photo of an Iltis with a fixture of some sort in this location...i think that would help.

How many other owners of Iltis on this forum have this hole or have seen one like it? This may have been a theatre mod, as mine was in Bosnia...possibly even the force commander's jeep- some indication of that, but definitely not confirmed yet.

I'm convinced it was for a Slave Cable Outlet. Dimensionally it's identical, and in a much more useful place than the cheesy location under the dash. Either way, I'm curious, as I've never seen this done to any of the ones I used.
