Has anybody ever Seen this?......know what year It's from ?started/ ended?.......Definitely a new Discovery for me. I like the Idea but have never had a Bug with this part before. ( or after for that matter )

Seems like someone was using their noggin here, and for whatever reason, they made a little heat activated "vent" in the engine cover.........this picture shows it while it's not assembled properly.

I assembled the vent louvers, and Now they Appear to be in the Correct posistion. Closed. It wasn't real warm when I shot this Picture, but when I discovered this mild, but odd item, I thought it was worth asking about........might even be a good "add on " for some of you guys running UN VENTED ENGINE COVERS..........as long as it's kept hidden under the license plate like this one.
