What is this piece slightly longer than a 2x2 plate with grooves and a hole?

Question

Once again, I need the collective wisdom of this group to identify a mystery LEGO element!

I did a search for "2x2"and went through scores of Bricklink pages, but I couldn't find this particular piece.

It's the size of a 2x2 plate, but with this added grooved part that I've never seen before.

Can you find a number anywhere on the bottom of the brick? I can just about make up something that looks like '90-7' but I'm not sure. — Ambo100, Aug 27, 2017 at 23:27

This looks like a PLATE 2X2 ANGLE, which is broken. There is a rough side shown on the picture.

Looks like it was intentionally smoothed a bit after cutting or breaking, possibly for some one-off custom purpose.

@RussellBorogove: I have lots of parts that are 30-40 years old that have a broken edge that is now rounded because it was in use for so long

Huh, I thought it was familiar. Good job!

Sorry for the delay--there is indeed a Lego part number on the bottom, which is 3956. On closer inspection, I think the above comments are right--the broken edge is not completely flat, but rounded! No wonder I couldn't find this in Bricklink. Thanks to all!
