Body filler on panels for what?

Hi
As im slowly turning my cab back to a coupe and changing the color of car to give it a new fresh look , ive been doing one panel at a time ,

the first one i finished was the front right fender i took it back to bare metal i wanted to be sure there wasnt any rust starting and also to see if there iwas any previous accident damage,

So far so good,,

Then i did same with door ans all good also

But today i started taking paint off the rear right fender

I can see a bog patch added at a different time,
So i slowly in a nervous way started to sand it away to see why there was so much bog there, and its quite deep too, about 6mm.

So pls have a look and tell me your thoughts, i can see no damage, no weld, no rust, nothing under the bog out of the ordinary,

Why would someone do it? i can only think they did it to fatten up the rear in the looks department?

Red arrows show clean bare metal that i sanded to expose
Brown circles show the filler/bog
