that metal area you asked about must be some sort of neutral leg collection bar so to speak.
a place to get an assured good chassis ground. you add a ring lug / fork lug under the screws.
it looks like someone solved lack of chassis connection points available by using the materials that you have intercepting the N leg of input power.
I can see the Hot leg being handed off through the center of the light socket. makes sense the N leg is right next door.
do you have continuity from the lamp socket threaded part to the metal strap area?
Funny, at first glance on your first picture,,
it looks like a 1bbl carb from a pretty old lawn mower.
