Those are plastic covers over the timing belt cog on your cams. Behind them is the timing belt path.
There are actually double cams behind there.
I have 1998 Passport and just finished an engine rebuild.
Timing belt tensioner pulley bolt caught put back on too tight with too much tension. Tensioner broke off, belt went slack, threw timing off and caused valve damage in head.
Had to take off, rebuild heads again.

The techs where I worked just hated Passports for a number of reasons.
