Based on the wiring coming off the back side, four blades that appear to be hollow stee based on how one blade is bent, I think it may be a Curtiss Electric propeller possibly off a P-47 Thunderbolt or SB2C Helldiver.

Some PBM Mariners & PB2Y Coronados also used 4 blade props.

One might be able to deduce the application from the blade stencils (pitch stop markings, etc.).

I didn't notice any remnants of a blade cuff. This is also a tooth pick type blade.
Most military C-46s used the Curtis Electric prop and I believe Taiwan used the C-46 for many years.
The length of the blades would also give a clue.
