That bezel must have been stuck in the paint. They usually come right off. I see it actually remained stuck in the paint after the lock was removed. Amazing! I remember in the old days we used the door to put our fast food on when eating in the car. Maybe some Coca Cola dribbled down into that hole and stuck the bezel to the door.
Are those circular depreshions in the door back cup holders? I remember those days to Jim. Mostly used when at the drive-in theater.
