My first guess is it looks like the end of a bar clamp that goes to the rear panel.

It appears to be a track tensioning bar.

Sorry guys, Not the track adjusting bar (which lives in the same place on my carrier) I mean the catapult looking thing. It looks like two rubber straps with a metal bit in the middle. Is it for holding something down?

Red shape or blue shape? Opened and viewed at 100%, there are at least two giant C-clamps on the top edges of the armour. Several tools on the floor, and a tool box. There are at least two workers, one standing and a second hunched over in the rear compartment.
