Baffle plates are used in oil pans to keep the oil near the pick up tube during hard: turning/braking/acceleration. If there wasn't any the oil would all go to 1 side turning a hard turn and the engine would be starved of oil and cause engine damage.

No. A belly pan on most Jeeps refers to the pan that is essentially the transmission crossmember, that is to say it is the assembly that the transmission sits on via the transmission mount that holds the transmission up into the vehicle, and also kind of doubles as a rock guard or "skid plate".
