My guess is for the voltage stabiliser (or lack thereof)- if there's a
little black doohickey nearby, (about the size of your thumb...?), with
wires entering/leaving it, then I surmise that the original
electromagnetic stabiliser has been replaced with a solid-state one.

The TR4 has the voltage stabiliser in the RHS footwell.
