Oxygen gauge/ what off?

I picked up an oxygen gauge on a junk store today, it basically says off and on with a needle pointing to whichever. My question is what would ii be off? It’s a Mk111A on the dial and on the back of it is 6D/1598 and a broad arrow. It just seemed a shame to leave it there . Thanks in advance and hope I’ve given enough information.

Thanks OneEighthBit, appreciate your reply, that does narrow it down a bit, wonder what they were fitted to altogether now.

1966 edition AP1086 lists it as “Indicator, flow, oxygen: – Mark 3A, fluorescent”

Dunno if that helps narrow it down. 4 digit part ref would seem to indicate very late/post war.
