I think it´s a wall hanger-piece from the late 19th century (the breastplate from the first post).

Maybe made from two pieces and riveted because it´s easier to dish two seperate halfs instead of raising it from one sheet of metal.

Aluminium rivets ?

In your last picture, look at the shamrock shaped hole punched in the middle. Obviously made by modern tools.
