I think it's part of the bomb pulley bracket mounting frame, which fits inside the fuselage framing between the inboard and outboard racks.

Paul,
Thanks for the positive ID ... all I need to do now is clean it ... very very carefully to avoid any damage to those decals!
Given the quality of your finds, 381st digger, to make you green is quite an achievement!! Anyway, on our next visit you'll probably find the bomb bay doors ... plus yet another mess tin.

All the best,

Thanks Pete / Paul ... always nice to have a visual of a relic as it would have been in situ .... Since finding this relic a lot more has been found ... I'm just a bit slow in cleaning / photographing ....
