“Water protector” under cup holders

I wish my first question here didn’t have to be such a lame one.

I took the cup holders out of my 2011 D4 the other day and found the remains of what looked like something to protect the electronics in the centre console. It’s a plastic piece secured by two screws directly under the cup holders. I would take a photo but I removed the remains and binned them.

Now I think it might be better to replace it so that the electronics have the protection they were designed to have. Can anyone tell me the name of the part I am looking for? It’s a 2011 Disco 4 GS, 3.0 sdv6.

The remains, just broken bits of plastic (which it seems I kept after all) were attached to the screws on the left and right. There was a bigger broken piece inside.

Very many thanks, that’s exactly the part. Given my propensity for spilling coffee into every nook and cranny, it’s a must-have!

That’s extremely kind, thank you. Sadly I already ordered one from the eBay link provided….
