Old style battery tray?

Hey guys, got a quick question for ya. Under the hood on my '70 highboy, I seem to have a long, slender tray mounted to the inner fender. Sized about 12"x4", made of stamped steel, on the passanger side. I have'nt seen any evidence that this is a camper special, so I'm just wondering what Ford had in mind when they built this thing. Works great to keep push rods from rolling around, but I don't think that it's sole purpose is for parts. Any thoughts?

MD, A PO could have put it there for any number of reasons. Under the hood is an excellent place for storing things since there is so much extra room under there.
