What is this body bracket?

Today I was sorting and consolidating my boxes of T parts, and found this apparent body bracket. It either came with the 1915 or 1911 projects that I restored. There is no part number on it and is about 9" long. I was wondering if anyone can help identify what it is?
Thanks,
Neal

The two dimples and hole on the one side suggest a bracket for later side or tail light.

I may be wrong? But if I recall correctly, that bracket has in the past been identified as a tail lamp bracket, one a few designs, intended for TT one ton trucks. What bracket might be used on a truck depended on the style and builder of the body.

I suspect it was a bun tail light bracket, but think it is likely hand forged for the job. The light end of most factory brackets is round. The other end of this one is asymmetric and typical of hand forging. This would also explain why there is no part number on it.
