As other have suggested - it's for the toolkit:
Attachment 19129
As far as I can recall, there was no weatherstrip.

I remember the kit in my MKII had a few spanners, a grease gun, a brake bleed tube and a gauge for setting the cam timing.

there is supposed to be a weather strip around the panel that contains the toolkit compartment, see pic.
Here's a toolkit on england's ebay:

I rarely carried the toolkit in my XJ8L. It would get covered in dust and grit because the compartment isn't effectively sealed.

You're a lot clearer than the Parts Manual! I've eventually found the right item:
JAGUAR X308 - Under Bonnet Covers.pdf
Unfortunately the bulkhead cover is only listed as a complete component and we all know what Jaguar are likely to charge for this!
Over here (England) I'd just go to one of the specialist Jaguar breakers who would supply the edge trim separately. If you can't source one in the US, I can give you some UK contacts.
