ID armour plate

Can anybody kindly identify what aeroplane this armour plate came out of. The lugs at the bottom of the plate seem to be for the fitting of a standard WW2 seat pan. No numbers on the piece. Thank you.

I’d go for Lancaster, i’ve got a not particularly good photo of the same shaped piece of armour at a Lancaster crash site, there is a better photo of same piece at the same crash site here: http://www.yorkshire-aircraft.co.uk/aircraft/planes/dales/nf963.html
