I have been cleaning this part up. It weighs a couple of kg and 6 inches in diameter.
Comprises a Bronze body, locking nut, a larger internally threaded nut and a central steel threaded nut with rubber insert with retaining cicrclip.
All marked with DHL stamps:
Bronze Body marked internally with BB6564/P22561/6 BE10 MTG and CF31163 on rim
Retaining Nut stamped T ; DHL and and P225281
Large Nut marked with BEMT?03 P33302 DHL271
Inner steel/rubber P33303 as well as <- increase; 1 turn 1.25 o ; decrease -> and A7.
So definitely made by De Havilland at Lostock and P numbers suggesting Prop but I cannot see any similar parts on other hydromatic props and nothing like the Heron cam and dome I had before.
Contrarotating ?

Confirmed that this is a part from a Shackleton that was dismantled at RAF Valley.
