Was told it may be out of a warbird but not anything I can identify.

Bang on thanks Peter! The square access door had me wondering, the early MK1 had a round access. But the later model was square, possible MKV or later?

These seats are probably not scarce a total of 11,020 Ansons were built in Britain and Canada by the end of production in 1952, making it the second-most-numerous (after the Vickers Wellington), British multi-engined aircraft of the war.
Here is the Avro Anson operating out of Omaka airfield in New Zealand.

I agree they do popup from time to time.. The all wooden ones with the round holes are much rarer to find though..
