Do you know what this is?
This is a car I saw today:

I don't know. I hope one doesn't appear on my car. Push button hood opener? 
Strange reflection--and you are trying to see if we can figure it out. Pedestrian smasher holder.

I think it's for a flag. On a Merc you can buy a a flag pole for the right side and one for the left side, separately.

Why would you place a flag on only one side?

not always you put two flags, like if its a consulates car and not the ambasaddor then only 1 Flag.
and in the netherlands these 2 first characters are pretty unique, and stands probably for "Corps Diplomatique"
