Possibly, someone used that flat piece of steel to lift or lever the Krag "extractor-hook" upward for bolt removal.

Some individuals have difficulty and find the process painful to their thumb. This could be an 'improvised tool' that, as 'Madsenshooter' stated, was stored inside the Magazine-Gate.

As they say in Scotland .... "Whatever For"?
(Why would you do that)?
