Need a "re-identification" on this item please

I know one like it was posted here before, and I think it was solved, but for the life of me, I can't seem to find that thread.
Any ideas?

Ive seen those posted a few times ,some had numbers on them but I thought they were never IDed.

Is it just an illusion or does it seem the nodule is off center in the side profile and not in the face view?
The curvature in the right side makes me think of a braking pad or brushes inside of an electric motor.

Does the curved edge come to a point like a wedge?

You might be right.. My memory plays tricks on me sometimes. I do, however, vaguely remember the ones with numbers now that you mention it. .. Thanks Taz!

No.. it is pretty uniform in thickness all the way around. .. and yes, the nubbin is off center .. not an illusion.
