DeHavilland lostock 4 blade prop hub id?

Can anyone ID this new old stock hub? i think i might know what its from but cannot be sure.

Its NOS, possibly early post war, 4 blade, stamped with DHL (DeHavilland, Lostock), it also has a heart shaped stamp with HT or MT, 60 spline?

SBAC 60 spline would go a treat in a Griff powered CA-15. Just need LHT dH blades…might need to do midnight spares at MOTAT

i think its avro lincoln and should also be cac ca-18 mustang or any rr merlin mustang, i don’t think its centaurus because it looks like a h/s hydromatic prop and the only centaurus stuff we had here were 5 blade sea furys, but i was hoping someone might confirm

Not sure, but hints, by splines, geographic and Lostock context, as a Bristol Centauras 4 blade application ? Might be of interest to a Sabre flying project ? Could go on a CA-15, if a true patriot.
