Default Mystery Item ?

Does this belong on a carrier , gun mount?? Came with a lot of other carrier parts, any ideas. Pintle diameter is 2 inches. Holes in sides are fractionally over 20mm.

Could it be the remains of a 25 pounder mount for the tank hunter carrier ?

Yes Richard, you need to lose 23 lbs. Even then I don't think that part would be anywhere near big enough.
