What is this screen in the HUD & how do I de-activate it?

It's shield. It helps you when ground (air) is similar to HUD color, when u can't read HUD well. It makes HUD visibility better. You open it and turn off by "button" on the left of HUD.

turn it off by fliping the lever on the left side of the hud

The lever / button is this thing, you'll see when it changes position in-game when clicking on it more clearly:

Thanks, I did not even know of its existence, it deployed when I was calling the HMS and I suppose I was pressing a HOTAS key that involved the RShift key, so H-RShift and voilá, HUD filter on :D

Its not that obvious on the screen above but when you are shooting a tank sitting on the green field of Georgia it is nice to have it on sometimes!
