I looked at that small metal plate you mention. I believe that was part of the 56 change to "safety" locks. The complete lock assy isn't shown but this illustration shows the door portion with a narrower wheel. The plate on the striker was steel instead of pot metal. When door was closed, the plate overlapped the wheel in the narrow inner gap so the lock was less likely to pop open.
