Might be an ARB bar. Definitely not a place for a shackle, that loop is designed to be used with one of these, and a high-lift jack. I see sooo many people snatching using those... they must be tough because I don't know of a failure yet, but the point is that it is NOT designed for recovery loads.
You need to put proper recovery point/s on the chassis horns.

I got my bar modified to strengthen it up for a winch and at the same time welded 5mm plate next to those eyelets to thicken them up. The plates go back to the chassis mounting points. Tough as now.
Hello from Under Down Under!
Looking good Healy, did you end up stripping the other car or sold it whole?

Well done mate. Looks clean as..
Now those holes in the front if the bar. They are an intended winch point. Those points run inline with the chassis points..
I would feel safe using them if winching a double line or bridle Off them, but not snatch.
Anyway mate. To celebrate it, I'd like to offer a swap.. And before you say no, to late, Its done..
Sell the gu light mount and Im doing you up a stainless gq one. I just need the bolt centers again for the bar..
Lets start this bus with some bling..
Cheers
