So42 lightning bolt cover

My 5/24/67 has this single screw cover that nobody I knew seemed to know about, but now I have spotted it on a few westy's in the gallery. It hides behind the jumpseat and I assume gives access to the backside of the exterior plug.

-Which versions had this? Is it early/late thing? 67 only?
-Was there a hole behind it and if so, what dimensions were the hole and anyone know the location dimensionally?
-Anyone have a pic without their cover installed?

Update-Looks like it would only be used potentially Jan67 when backup lights started and the exterior plug was moved to the wall, to potentially July 67.

My June '67 has this outside and you get to it from inside but mine is way higher and the jumpseat has a hole as well as the wall but no cover.

This is what is on the jumpseat.

The wires go through the hole where your cover is to the inlet outside.

My outlet is on the long panel as well as the exterior inlet. So all the wiring is behind the long panel. Just wanting to know if the lightning bolt cover is covering an inspection hole of some kind or just a warning of voltage behind the panel.

What is behind your warning panel?
