Help identifying fuselage frame and header tank please

Can anyone help identify these parts please? The header tank has been said to come from either a Lincoln or Shackleton. The frame was reputed to be Spitfire – but then isn’t everything – and I can’t find any numbers on it. It looks as though it had removeable panels on it with quite a steep taper, so could be from the front of an engine nacelle. Thank you![ATTACH]253925[/ATTACH][ATTACH]253926[/ATTACH][ATTACH]253927[/ATTACH][ATTACH]253928[/ATTACH]

Thanks Mike. The frame doesn’t have any numbers on it unfortunately. It’s 27 3/4 inches tall.

Header tank is from a Shackleton R-R Griffon installation.

Frame looks engine cowling related but hard to tell as there’s not much of it. Have you had a look for part numbers?

Does the frame have any serial numbers on it?

Fuselage piece looks not unlike the front cowling piece of a Hurricane. I don’t think it is, but it is similar.
