I suspect its a provision for auto trans selector guide in some early versions.

That makes sense. I was imagining a space for "Hello my Name is,"

You could, potentially, fit an external temperature display from a W201/W124 in there.

My euro 77 450se parts car had a Fasten Seat Belts light there, but I couldn't tell you for sure if that were stock or not. I'll have to find it. The cluster was shared with the r107 and in later versions had some warning lights there. The rest of them outside of those and the column shifter cars just have that lovely piece of black painted styrofoam.

The intricacy in these cars is amazing. It's like doing archaeology. I found this out studying the car more closely as I was removing and cleaning the floormats/carpets.

OMG, I love this idea.  Do you if anybody has actually done it?
