Hope I am in the right place for this ~ Any help appreciated ~
I found in a WWII AIF (Australian 2/32 -Rats of Tobruk- ) camp site ~ (Post Africa campaign and well after the unit/s returned to Australia to be retrained in jungle training and the Pacific campaign against the Japanese forces.
I detected and dug this in a scrap fire pit of bottles and scrap steel ~ Stainless steel and numbered ~
It is 130 mm & 90mm wide and 330 mm long ~ but I think the "jagged end " has been deliberately cut off or modified (?)
I have seen similar soem where but cannot 'finger' this item ~
In prospective :
The debate is the part number is not relative to Military parts list/s- catalogues ~
That stainless was not used in aircraft in WWII ~ ( I challenge this as a recent find of a P40 Kitty Hawk .50 cal wing ammo box dispels that theory ~
Thanks for any input `
