Sharp eye, Terry. That A/C compressor oil shield was a Buick only piece. I've never seen one installed on any other GM vehicle.
I am unaware of which previous owner added it to this car, but I suspect that it was done by the original owner, Skip Barooby.
I knew that it wasn't correct for my car, but I left it on when I detailed the engine bay. It does a great job of keeping that snarfy compressor oil of of the hood underside and other engine components!
