Default strange rollcage xr4i

Hi,

I went yesterday to see a XR4i. I will probably buy it.. It has a lot of work outside but is not too much expensive, so, I can restore it with calm in house

But, I saw something I didn't saw on another rollcage, is connected to the rear beam

ive seen these before they are unusual as the rear beam and diff bolt to the cage, just gives them another anchor point and stiffens everything up even more. ive seen them with floor braces and bars that go through the bulk head to the suspension mounts that the front, then from there they go across under the front slam panel to. not sure what application they were designed for.
