Flat iron in gas tank

I have a 440 Oliver. Today I was cleaning out the gas tank and discovered a 4x12 16 or 18 gage piece of flat iron laying in the bottom of tank. I believe this tank to be original. It had to be put in when tank was made. Is this a baffle that has came loose or was it a joke when tank was built? Any thoughts welcome.
 
At 4x12 it sounds like it's too big to fit through the hole. I hope you don't have to cut it up with the torch to get it out. lol
