This R/T controller typical use in Spitfires with it's original mount for installing it to the forward port-side of the cockpit has scratched on it 'SM213'.
I very much assume it is from this aircraft, probably kept as a souvenir when scrapped in 1945.

Accident on Aril 12th 1945 most probably occurred at B.85 Schijndel airfield (as 341 squadron was operating from there at that time)
GACB = Ground Accident (followed by category): Beyond repair on site, but repairable at a Maintenance Unit or at a contractor's works [shown as 'CB']
CE = Write-off/Lost [shown as 'CE']
The shown controller was acquired in the Netherlands in 2020.
