I recently picked this up & do not know what it fits. Has anyone seen this part before? Part of it is the same as a 1955-61 snowflake Bug tail light bulbholder but it has another bulbholder & reflector spotwelded to it. It was definitely done during its original manufacturing.

It is not for a heart tail light unless there is a one off heart light I have never seen. Here is a heart light bracket. You can see they are totally different.

Could it be a rear decklid license plate light (Oval) with an under deckled area/engine light. I don't know if they were a factory option, or possibly an accessory. Just an idea I had.
