What is it Please – Buccanneer ?

I got this piece of aircraft a couple of weeks ago. It was thought to be possibly Buccanneer – but after several days staring at Buccs – I cannot see it.

The stamp on the back: Interchangeability Approved and what looks like a 3G4 135 or BGA135 Inspectors stamp – printed on the back. Colour is removed in photo for easier viewing

The bottom sides have sleeves for sealing. The remaining paint on top is a dark sea grey

It is 86cm tall and 60 cm wide at base.

I have checked several other post war jets without finding anything similar ( Harrier/Javelin/Hunter etc…).

I would appreciate knowing what it is from – so any help is appreciated

N.B. it is not for ebay…

If it had been any other aircraft, I’d be stumped.

Looks like the thrust reverse mechanism fairing from a Tornado.
