Identification plate, crashed plane ?

Hi, I’m new on the forum and I’m interested by ww2.
I got this small plate which is coming from France and I think this plate is coming from a plane because of the letters DRG/… that I’ve seen one day on plane components.
The word tested (for a battery ?) was added on this plate and a date is visible 30 2 40.
Can anyone be helpful with this identification and knows the mleaning of the letters DRG/… and G5 numbers which can identify a plane ? Thanks…

A Gloster plate! denoted by the G5, I would suggest Hawker Hurricane from a Gloster built Mk1. No relation whatsoever to the battery. Possibly a pressure vessel.
