That is a grease catcher. Any grease that happens to escape from the wheel seal is supposed to be caught in it to prevent it from getting on the brake shoes.
And even though that one is not round anymore,  it still works.

Did your car have the spring washer anti static parts inside of the grease cup when you took it apart?
