I spent a lot of time on a P32 and I *think* it was an external simple bolt-on keel. Not encapsulated. A square of any kind says "patch" to me, not something manufactured. Could you post a photo? Is if in the keel stub, above the keel proper, or down where only metal should be?
It could be that someone sistered in or replaced a keel bolt--and this is where they cut in in order to get the "J" shaped part off the bottom of the old bolt.
In any case, liquid freezing and expanding, doing damage in the keel, is not a good thing and it does need to be drained and explored. Thoroughly
