MotoGP, Ducati: what's the point of the 'glove box' on the tail of the GP25 lab?

They range from the definition of 'the pot of holy water' to glove box to turbulence generator to break up the slipstream...but no one knows the true function of Gigi Dall'Igna's latest aerodynamic devilry

MotoGP: Ducati: what's the point of the 'glove box' on the tail of the GP25 lab?

We told you about it during the shakedown: Michele Pirro tested a brand new tail with additional appendages next to the stegosaurus-like fins. Here in this image is another angle taken from the MotoGP Tech Facebook page.
As you can guess the two 'tubs' are in rapid prototyping, a sign of work in progress.

In the image is Pirro riding in a VR46 team pit exit (you can see their starter). There have been heated discussions about the use of the device, which, wittily, motorsport colleague Franco Nugnes called a 'holy water tank.' They range from increased aerodynamic load to a...disruptive action for the pursuers due to the increased air turbulence generated by the two tanks.
