Kick panel insulation

hello everyone! I just bought a 89 f350 with a 7.3 IDI. I had to remove the driver side lower kick panel and out came this tan/beige insulation. I have had Ford trucks in the past but I never saw this* it looked like it was covered with black plastic then the trim piece covered it all. the panel is right where the hood latch release would be. this stuff isnt asbestos is it? thank you!

I doubt it is Asbestos, has not been used in many years.
I have an 86, Hood release is under the left side of the Dash, not down on the floor.

I would guess it is sound insulation for the diesel.
