[Wurger]

Karl , the square behind the head armour plate appears to be a kind of a gasket for the slided back cockpit conopy methinks.

 

[Airframes]

Yep, it is, and painted black, like the rest of the upper section of the cockpit. The lighting angles in the photos just give it a slightly different look.
