Nope, not Hunter gun pack. The hoists used on the Hunters wasn’t specific to that application anyway, they were standard RAF Type C bomb hoists of which this isn’t one. It does look vaguely similar though.
A spigot (just a large ‘lug’ with a protective plate) was screwed into a hole one each side of the Hunter fuselage above the gunpack and one hoist was hooked on each. The hook required for that would be in a similar position to the fitting in the second photo but it is literally a ‘hook’ and certainly not the device visible here. A third hoist was hooked onto a fitting built in to the aircraft at the front centre of the gunpack. The end of the wire rope from each side hoist was then hooked onto a strap which passed under the gun pack to support it. The cable from the front hoist hooked directly onto the front of the gun pack. The pack was then unlocked and all three hoists were wound down together to lower the pack out of the aircraft.
In order to attach the wire rope to the gun pack (and the support strap) it needed to be terminated with a hook so again that doesn’t match what we have here which is some sort of ball fitting.
I have one of these Type C hoists in my shed, if I can get at it easily I’ll photograph it for comparison.
My guess is that this is not aircraft or application specific but rather a general purpose bomb hoist equivalent to the Type C used by the RAF.
