Interesting Propellor Discovery

Can anyone confirm that this is a Lancaster or Manchester early 3 bladed needle type prop? No part numbers yet..

Thanks Pete! I forgot about the spline as that would narrow it down a bit!

The numbers were stamped or engraved quite lightly into the front barrel, from experience I would say they will be completely gone.
The Mosquito also used this blade pattern.
One thing to check is which spline it has to make sure it is a British SBAC type.
