It looks to be the standard speedometer plastic disk which someone painted an arrow on after the chrome ring fell off.
Heat and age shrink the disk and the ring comes loose. I'd say this was just a jerry rigged way of keeping the speedometer useful.
Probably, the chrome ring was taken out when the speedometer was taken apart to paint the arrow.
