You can never rule these things out!
Here’s a scrapyard find from a few years back. Complete with EEP and HP61 numbers, etc.

It’s not the sort of thing that turns up, Cees. Once removed from the aeroplane, it will have had little practical use, unless someone fancied installing a compass on their boat, and this just happened to fit the hole.
Unlikely, I would have thought.
Alan,
I think your are right. It’s more sensible to take out the compass and leave the bracket in situ. This would probably have been melted down with the airframe, although some strange things have survived over the years.
Remember a certain first aid box mounting a certain Dutch Halifax afficionado obtained from an English anything A*M afficionado with a liking for control wheels from the south of England? 😉
Cheers
Cees
