The letters “DA” are from the Canadian Dominion Arsenal at Quebec, and the following stamp is their symbol, a letter “C” that encloses an upward pointed arrow.
Being slightly pedantic, the C with the enclosed arrow is the Canadian War Department symbol, not Dominion Arms.

Your first picture is of the headstamp of an unfired 20mm round shell casing. The letters “DA” are from the Canadian Dominion Arsenal at Quebec, and the following stamp is their symbol, a letter “C” that encloses an upward pointed arrow. The “43” indicates 1943 as the year of manufacture, and of course the 20mm indicates the caliber of the round.

The third photo is of a DHS30 pipe clip used on the Mosquito while B982249 is a plate from the nose door group used on the Mosquito NF.XIX, NF.30 and forms part of Mod.524 for the NF.XIII.
The Hispano round fits in nicely with it being an NF Mosquito.

On the balance of probability
Looks like Mosquito to my un-trained eye.
