Its definitely a tab to hold the distributor in place. I've never seen a distributor with a built in tab but that doesnt mean there isnt one

They all have a built in tab on the 4.0, but it will wear out quickly lacking this hold down on top of it.

Its a thank you token, given from your Jeep to you. Its a symbol of appreciation for all the repairs & maintenance you do to your Jeep.

I did do a distributor gasket recently, but I don't recall whether this on there, as the distributor has its own locating tab built into the housing. But that's the only thing that comes to mind.

This goes on top of that. It's like a spring to keep even pressure on the top of the distributor shaft.
