Definitely aftermarket. Would have to physically trace wires connected to the switch to figure out what it is

My guy. It needs to be said. EJECTO SEATO CUZ!
Real talk though, flip the switch and see if it does anything. Get out, walk around, see if anything lights up. Prolly best to do it at like.. dusk-ish. You might have surprise underglows or interior lighting. Or, like Colin said, foglights if your car has aftermarket ones. Scariest-case scenario (which would honestly be a non-issue), it's a battery kill switch. Most likely scenario, previous owner disconnected it and didn't replace the panel with anything.
edit: in hindsight, that'd be a scary battery disconnect. I'd venture a guess that the largest gauge wire that switch could accommodate would be 14ga, maybe 12ga. A battery kill switch you'd prolly want 4ga at minimum
