this is an australian car and I'm assuming it's a flip-up mesh stone guard like the ones seen on redex trial cars

The 1955 Round Australia Trial, officially the Redex Trial, was the third running of the Round Australia Trial. The rally took place between 21 August and 11 September 1955. The event covered 16,900 kilometres around Australia. It was won by Laurie Whitehead and Bob Foreman, driving a Volkswagen 1200.

This was in the time of no roads, not joking!

These are the car cover for transport that have to be returned to the factory.
