This has been asked of me and is a mystery.
The UK ( possibly EU and Japan) market has the box and ring attachments on the chassis. These also appear in the pre launch pictures of the bare chassis.
However they DO NOT appear in other markets and mean that some accessories from other markets do not fit.
Any idea what they do? (and are they on the SZ4 as I only have SZ5s to compare with). The box has a rubber like filler. It's it some sort of harmonic damper, if so why don't other markets have it.

A couple of pictures from Suzuki showing the variation. I think one is a Kei chassis but South Africa does not have Kei models

We have these boxes in Aus too. I guess they contain infrared sensors for lane departure warning (which SA does not get). Rubber for damping the sensors, and a shield for their protection. Will tape over the holes and drive erratically later today to no doubt prove myself wrong 
If I am right it looks like around 10kg my Jimny could do without.
