I would guess that someone was tightening those lugs while the panel was energized. The cardboard would provide some degree of protection from slipping with the screwdriver, crossing phases and blowing it up.

Cardboard is always the preferred choice of protection when pulling into a live panel.

I have found that the instruction manuals are the choice of insulation under the burners of furnaces. Found a few of those in the past.
