It is the end cap of the cylinder valve. depending on design details this should only be seeing exhaust pressure and be connected to the open air via the smallish hole in the exhaust up the chimney. Under slow movement or air for testing the pressure wouldn't have been much and a push fit with a holding screw would have held.
Was it sold as running or just 'finished and tested'?

Anyway it needs more screws, and perhaps a seal if not a tight fit.

edit: don't forget the other end as well as the other side.
