Just a guess, but its a plate for an arm or stick shifter? I see two stops, and places to mount an arm..

maybe one of these quadrant shifters?

That almost looks like some kind of hanging plate. Could the bike, perhaps, be suspended from one of those holes? Check to see if it balances at either point.
 
Oh, those top tube child seats. Good for protecting the family jewels in a crash. Crush the kid against the handlebar stem instead of you.
