Help ID possible BF109 wing slat?

[hawker.1966]

Hi
Would anyone be able to help with this BF109G -5 relic the aircraft itself sadly crashed Siene Bay France on the 24th of June 1944 the pilot was Herbert Blochberger.
I was thinking along the lines of a wing slat as it is very similar with the front curved edge but something is not quite right from what I can make out.
Any help would be very much appreciated.

Hmmm, Having some difficulty with these shots, image 9520 looks to be a fairly simple part of bent structure, but other shots seem to have some steel and rubber fittings.
Overall, if it is from a 109/110 slat assembly, I think it might possibly be from the wing stricture in the slat area. The slat itself is very much a simple slim aerofoil form with integral ribs and double skin.
The illustration posted by MIflyer shows the early Bf 109 E style of slat mechanism with swinging links that deploys the slat in a partial arc and incorporates the interconnect between the inner and outer movement. The Bf 109 F deleted the interconnect and redesigned the swinging links. The later Bf 109 G/K use a completely redesigned roller carriage that moves in steel U-section guides, that allow the slat to slide forward or rearward in the guides.
So, difficult to be sure about this relic.

Yes, it could well be part of one of the Kuhlerverkleidung, or cooler-housing/duct. Obviously, we do not see the radiator here, this does look like the built-up structure that the radiator sat in, with some of the rubberised sealing that sealed the air duct.
