Default Mystery Part from Door Panel - Anyone Knows What It Is?

I was removing the door panel the other day, and this small metal clip-piece fell off from somewhere. It's about 1-1/4 inches long.
I looked everywhere behind the door panel, but can't seem to figure out where it might fit, or if it even belongs there!?
I am hoping that some of you more experienced people will recognize it at first sight!

Hey Cosmo!...wow...that's a large piece to not figure it's place. I guess you can try to find interior diagrams of the door guts? Or, worst case.....uncover the other side and see where it sits there?

Best,
J

It could be the release handle for the rear parachute! Sorry, I couldn't help myself!

Seriously, is there a part number stamped on it?

Jon, it's not really big as the pic may suggest. It's only about 1-1/4in.

Tim, there's no part number on it, it's just a small piece, like a clip.

I'm thinking it's probably a clip to hold one of the cables down onto the back of the door panel.
Maybe the door release cable?
