From your description & the pic, I'd have to guess its prob a button cover, Not sure about the design on top..a pic of the other side might help.

Looks like a back to an old reflector.

Can we see the flip side?

looks like a freeze out/expansion plug. I think bullet looking part is a pry area for removal.

Looks like the arrow thingie in the middle is smashed down. So there's an opening there. It reminds me of a cap off an old bottle of brake fluid or something. Where you have to twist it to a certain point, to remove the cap. (Since there is notches on both sides.)
