Bill:
I do not think so. This appears to be formed to hold something under
tension. I would guess it is a retaining clip. The shape of the opening
hints that it is used to hold something round in place. That something is
inserted through a hole, and the clip possibly fits into a pair of grooves
to hold it against the sheet metal around the hole.. I might make a wild
guess at it being a lock retainer clip.
