No one? Probably the previous owner just wanted it off his workbench.

I'm sure it's a very complex and precise part for a particular and intensely important function. To me, it looks "home made" but well made.

They look like parts off of a UFO that crashed in Roswell, NM in 1947...

That looks like the a floor reinforcement plate that used to come with the aftermarket Hurst standard trans floor shiftier in the 70s.
