Rear diff fill plug
Is it supposed to be like this? I thought normally the square was in, not out?

Looks to me like it is full of dirt, kind of hard to tell on my phone though

Someone probably replaced it with a pipe plug a some point in it's life.

Normal. Look in a tool catalog. They make square sockets (inverted and external) for differentials. Completely normal and nothing wrong with it at all.

Usually inverted square, but I have seen one or two outies in 40+ years of tinkering.
