Gun Shield ID Requested

[stencollector]

While sorting through crates of parts stowed away at the local museum, I came across a gun shield that I can't ID. For some reason, it looks familiar, but I can't place it. It has a layer of "axis grey" over the original OD if that is of any help. The shield is fairly thin and stamped, so I am guessing a shield for an anti tank or possibly a machine gun.

Does anyone recognize the application?

looks like a plate from the footwell of a vehicle... note the scalloping, suitable for a steering shaft.
