I got no idea what this was for, as it would not do anything much.

Would actually help in a T-bone prang, but this was not mandated law until about 1977 to have to fit anti intrusion bars.

I guess all 28/29/s had this wood in door ?
I seem to remember reading somewhere that the timber in the door was inserted to reduce the drumming noise. I doubt that it would do anything for safety in the event of a T-Bone.
