40 years is a long time mate, that takes it back to the 70’s which means the part would have come from stocks of say 50’s surplus- having this in mind, we’d be looking at war surplus stocks, thus I wouldn’t be at all surprised if this was a part for a WW2 machine- though I doubt is would have been a carrier aircraft- maybe more like an airforce plane.

Keep me posted as to any results mate and good luck.

This should be in the Historic Aviation section, not here.
