German Aircraft Part Identification

[Eagle7]

Hello everyone!
I have this German aircraft part that I got a while back, and I haven't been able to identify it. It supposedly is German WWII electrical box from an aircraft, perhaps a BF-109 of sorts. It definitely looks like it went through a crash. There is a data plate that has some writing and numbers, and the piece is labelled "P.5". There are three holes in the top; two of which look like they were cut out for switches, while the other looks more like a puncture. It measures about 4" x 3 1/4" x 2 1/4". Any information or knowledge on how to identify the piece would be much appreciated!

Judging by the name "VSK 1" it seems to be a "Verteilerschaltkasten" = distribiution/connecting box. It's the device casing only I would say. I'm not sure but the "P" letter could be associated with a gunsight or armament usually.

Could it be for a multi-crew aircraft radio intercom?

No, the cover is an electrical distribution for a MG. The letter P was used by the Luftwaffe for identifying electrical component's associated with the guns. So is the FL Nummer 46235 a component for weapon systems

As I mentioned that above.

Thanks for the help everyone! I will do some further research now that I have a better idea of what it is.

And now all is clear. Not a Bf 109 but the Fw 189.
