Not sure, definitely not factory. Looks like it could be a locking mechanism of some sort with a removable key; maybe locks out the power. What does it look like from behind? If it is a lockout, do you have a key somewhere that looks like a lever of some sort?
Maybe something like this:

but with a removable lever-style key..............

It's battery switch made by Hella, look for the red key. It's either on or off, you need to trace out the wiring down and make a schematic wiring sketch to see how it's wired. Also I included a link for ordering the key. You see these switches on boats from Europe all the time.

Now there's a true test of the forum's collective knowledge. What are the odds of someone here knowing that?!

Nice tag, Puff!
