More Rusty Stuff – Spitfire Tank? 30046 Part Number

Hi All

Another idle moment on Ebay has resulted in another package of rusty metal appearing at the front door

According to the sellers description it is part of a fuel tank from a Spitfire, however the part number ‘30046’ on what appears to be a drain plug would associate it with the oil system (30045 being the code for the fuel system if I have got it right and ‘300’ being the prefix for a Spitfire Mk1).

Is anyone able to cast an eye over and see if they can ID it.

Many thanks
