My firend had a look in the box and there was an oil stained tag in the bottem. It confirms it is 27R not 26R and it has aircraft type as B25 mitchell!
Thanks for the help!
I would then expect it to be 27B. 27R is oleos.

I must admit I had expected something American, but sections never lie.
The five figure reference number is certainly pre 60’s.
I can only go on the a/c I worked on 26DK: Lightning 26NA: Bucc 26RA: Jag 26DE: Victor.

I am thinking DC3 or P40…

26R would make it a section and reference number particular to an a/c type.
There has been a list of sections posted here before, anybody?
