Tank and Oil gauge glass laminated?

I have taken apart all the gauges in my 87 to clean them and paint the needles as needed but when I got to the TANK- OIL gauge I noticed the inside of the glass had a clear but now yellowing piece of rather thick (+/- .020") plastic neatly stuck to it.
Only the TANK OIL, what`s up with that?
I do not plan to put it back on, ....I thought perhaps the stack up of the parts was not correct and to get the outer bezel to seal tight they added this plastic as a stop gap measure.
The needles were turning pale and I also paited the can white to make it brighter at night.
