So far this is the best guess I've heard.  Obscure enough to create
the belief of possibility.  However...How big are these triangles? 
This tray is 5" deep by ~6" wide by ~16" long.  I would imagine the
Germans with their wonderfully efficient engineering would produce an
unfolded triangle as big as the car itself if it was folded to this
size!    Also, why would the car have such equipment stateside?  (I
could understand how such a vehicle would make it to UK, but I would
think this pretty rare to see here in the States.)  
P.S. I DO NOT have such a "well" for first aid....unless, that is
part of the same tray area in back.  This would maybe make up for the
large size :-)
