2006 TD4.
Looking for somewhere to house a small digital display for an external thermometer I spotted this space on the dashboard panel, to the right and below the steering column. It had a black ABS moulding (which I prised off) buttoned into another ABS moulding crudely screwed onto the dashboard.
I'm a bit slow but what was it for? By the bodge-factor of the fitting perhaps there was something the previous owner has there.
I've screwed a strip of black PVC there temporarily.

Mine has a rubber storage tray there. Don't think LR ever put anything else there.

On a facelift it's where the rear park sensor and cruise control switches are fitted

Thank you all, so it was switches then. I'll go ahead and mount the little display there then and perhaps I can squeeze in a phone holder.
