What's going on the the bottom bracket area on that bike?

The little stumpy bit may have been for mounting a chain catcher or even a front mech, in lieu of a conventionally positioned seat tube

Narrow wide rings hadn't been invented when this beast rolled off the line.

Ohhhh that. Yep. The chode is for a front mech. Maybe not visible but directly vertical is a cable boss on the seatstay, and in the few photos I found of one built up, the cable runs bare between that boss and the front mech. Did not want.
