Looking for an ID for type from parts found at a crash site on the continent. I haven’t seen them first hand and other than obviously British from these and other finds I have no more info. PSCO inspection stamps appear on a couple of parts – assuming ‘Pressed Steel Company‘ ‘O’ Oxford ? From the net I could see that various subassemblies were made by them plus Tiger Moths. This site has yielded 4 oxygen bottles so would rule out single seat types that I know of.
2 part numbers have a ‘SS’ prefix
Any thoughts ?
Thanks, Jeff

Unfortunately I don’t have other pictures of the pieces or other numbers than shown

Some parts have SS stamped on them to denote that the material they are made from is Stainless Steel.
I have the catch from a Spitfire canopy/access door with such a mark.

may help to put up more pics of the whole parts and to give any long serial numbers in full, Kev

I’ve seen ‘SS’ prefix numbers (usually four digits) on Bristol engine components. The usual Bristol numbering system is five digit numbers prefixed by ‘FB’.
