Is that because of the grill openings resemblance to a ship's hatch OR due to the shape of the bonnet/windshield like a coal bucket?


You are correct and the word means all sorts too but in the UK it refers to the panel below the windscreen usually where the air intakes are situated.http://www.ebay.co.uk/bhp/scuttle-panel

My apologies for the confusion, Oh and the German Ship "The Graaf Spee" was also scuttled just outside of Montoivideo, I think!
