It is for the heater pipe to attach on early cars before the heater pipe joined into the bottom hose as it does in your picture. This change came about during the late 1950s Minor 1000 production.

Yes, The heater take-off is replaced with a blanking plug on the later cars which don't require it and later still, the radiators had no hole there at all. Why are you trying to remove it? If you force it you will probably do damage to the fragile brass tank.
