Instrument Identification

Hi all
Anyone know what this instrument is ? One of the three bolts on the back also seems to be a connector for air / fluid. the numbers on the back are 6H/2175 19572/43. I think its from a Lancaster maybe Altimeter or some sort of pressue guage ? Any ideas ???

It was mainly used for general cockpit lighting. Expect to see it at various points down the fuselage.

Thanks
