Help please with aircraft rudder pedal?

Hi
Would anybody please help with this rudder pedal. there appears to be some numbers that read
AUADRG 304 in circled hard to make out but csx or osx or o5x maybe the letter N also in the circle.

Any help as always would be appreciated..

Possible sources for an original back seat Spitfire pedal.

1) From the wreck of MK721/160 of the Irish Air Corps at Baldonnel.

2) The reverse conversion of Indian ML417 back to single seater.

3) One of the three original Dutch two seaters…but doubtful.

Pretty convinced now that this is a rear cockpit rudder pedal from a Spitfire trainer here is another photo from ml407..
Thanks again for all the help given.

Rear seat Spitfire TRAINER.

Hi Mark 12

Thank you for clearing that up.

Would anyone no whether this type of rudder pedal was used only in the rear section of the spitfire trainer. or was it another pattern used generally. (i would think a tough question) i guess also this pedal may of been made privately for this particular project.. would anyone have the identity of the spitfire in the link..

I think a lot of aeroplanes had different rudder pedals, the Spitfire has lots of different types.
I am sure someone will ID yours soon

Thanks Trolly Aux for your input.

Ive been told possibly Stirling but appears to differ unless of course there were different types of rudder..
