Is it ally or steel? The rivets looks odd for an aircraft, are they steel?

The item it self is ali,the rivetts havnt corroded and look ali too,there were wooden formers inside the old fella who had it in his garden said.

I have seen a lot of aircraft fuselage, never anything that looks like that.

Nose cone from an Me-110 ?

i thought 110 or 262 when i first saw it,not sure any 262,s came down in england.
One rectangular hole has holes for fixings such as acess panel other does not which is strange.

Is it radar / antenna array ?

I'm thinking PR. The ports look around the right size for a Camera maybe. One forward and one facing down.

one panel opening has no rivet/screw holes so may have been a glazed panel in a rubber gasket,if such things were ever fitted,ive trawled photos of ww2 aircraft and even looked at hotspur glider mk1,but still havnt come to a decission.
