Default Any Bell tent experts out there?

When I purchased my Woods 1942 circular tent it was un-issued, N.I.B. (new in the bag). Upon opening the bag and removing the tent for the first time I found a triangular piece of canvas that despite all my research I have never been able to identify nor figure out it's use. As you can see in the pics it is roughly an isosceles triangular with a peak. The peak has a grommet for what I assume is a tent pole. Along the outer edges of the two even sides are intermittently spaced loops. Strangely enough, these loops are made from pieces of tourniquet. One loop even has the warning about loosening the tourniquet every twenty minutes. Waste not-want not, I guess. The canvas piece looks like it might have been a tarp to cover the entrance to the tent, but in all the pics I've seen of circular tents, not one has ever had this piece. If anybody knows what this piece was used for, please let me know. Thanks!



CHIMO!
