Whatever it was, it shouldn't have been welded. Are there any holes? I mean, holes where bolts should or could have been? If not, there should be some visual evidence that the part was either extraneous or else attached to something greater. Either way, it should be visually obvious.
There are no random heat or skid plates welded to Tempos, Sunfires or stock 4x4s (where they'd actually serve a purpose). Everything on a car is removable.
