Default 145 inner fender..fan shaped area above shock stock?

On my new 145, I've discovered a rusty section in the drivers rear fender well. It's rusted through just above the upper shock mount, in the vertical section of the fender well.

I noticed that this rust, is basically in an area that is below a fan shaped piece of sheetmetal on the inner fender well, fanning out upwards from the upper shock mount. I noticed this fan shaped piece of metal on the passenger side as well.


Is this from the factory, and a structural stiffener? Or is this a previous repair?
