Wood Control Stick ID Request - Primary or Basic Trainer?

[Rtepak6]

Can anyone here put an ID on this wood control stick? I've been told it was removed from a Stearman PT-17, but one eagle-eyed viewer determined the lower connection linkage assembly appears wrong for the Kaydet.

It's about 26" long, and although hard to read, there looks to be a cast B in a triangle along with E 208 A on the lower metal linkage assembly.

Any suggestions?

PT-19 maybe? T-6 wooden sticks weren't bent like that.

Just received an off-WIX email suggestion that the control stick might actually have come from one of the cockpits of the JN4D Jenny.

Anyone have a good quality photo of a JN4D control stick for comparison?

Here's a comparison between a linkage attachment assembly remanufactured specifically for a JN-4 restoration ...



... and the linkage attachment point on this control stick:
