Looking for help on WWII Japanese Data Plate

[flyboy_trav]

I recently picked up this WWII Japanese data plate and I have no information on it at all. It is large, measuring approximately 4 3/4" x 4". Any help on this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!!!

Hi Trav,

Translation as follows: (From right to left)

銃架及照準器要具一覧表- Machine gun rack and gun sight tools list.

名稱 - Name of tools

記刻番号　- Engraved makings and No.

人員　- Personnel

照準機回螺器 - Spanner for gun sight

照一 - Sight 1

八 - 8

銃架回螺器 - Gun rack spanner

架二 - Rack 2

照準機、銃架回螺器 Gun sight, Gun rack spanner

照架三 - Sight rack 3

三 - 3

割回螺器 - Spanner (Don't know which type)

鉄鎚 - Steel hammer

ポンチ - Puｎch

油差 - Oil can.

An interesting plate, but can't tell if it's came from Army or Navy.

It didn't mention about flexible mount so, it can be a fixed gun mount. May be on aircraft, armored vesicle or ground fix.

Best regards,
Taka
