Could it be that the bonnet release is buggered and it's put at the front to stop it closing properly?
Looking at the first pic it's still slightly open.

I reckon the tennis ball is to put onto the bonnet catch whilst working on the car to prevent any unpleasant head injury.

First thing I did on that 1100 was remove that darn bonnet catch. Bloody thing really hurts when you hit your bonnet against it.
