Would say D type
The Part Nos. confirm it as “C” Type.

Would say D type (we used to have a complete one) ie the late war/early postwar twin .5 type
I distinctly remember the widthwise fairing…

The first control looks to be from a Boulton Paul Type C turret, and as I’ve got one in need of restoration and missing this part, I’d be very interested in acquiring it.
Given your location, it is probably from a B.P. Type C Mk. II, ex Hudson mid-upper, which is exactly what my turret is!
Too good an opportunity to miss? 🙂
