Need to determine if it is needed on a Gp2 rally car.

Yup. GSL-SE axle. The GS has the same plate.

IIRC from my 83 GS - don't the brake hard lines run across there? Is it just an overkill shield?

Yep, heat shield for the rear brake line. That brake line is pretty fun to bend when replacing it...
