Any ideas what this is?

[Locatorx]

Trying to work out what this is. The "latch"? fits into the casing but obviously can't move once the casing is attached to
something (4 countersunk holes from outside of case). However there is a center hole in the "latch" as if it pivots. They fit
together well so I'm unsure what it is and how it works. Thanks for any help.

The "latch" could be mounted either facing left or right but that's all I have to add...
Did you find these two put together or separately?

 

[Locatorx]

They were 'given' to me together. My confusion is how it actually works. The latch can pivot from the center but once the plate is screwed down (holes countersunk on outside) over the latch
it can't move anymore so there's no real locking ability. Maybe something is missing? Or maybe they don't belong together although the fit is pretty good.

Depending on the size, it could be outside window shutter hardware.
