Need help to ID a Lancaster piece

[Daniel BASTIEN]

Hello. This Lancaster crashed in North-Eastern France on April 28th, 1944. Does anyone knows what the rounded piece in front of the lady is ? Best regards

Antishimmy type fitted to some Lancs mostly those operating off grass. I have a Lanc tailwheel with a conventional Tyre. Other aircraft fitted with the Anti shimmy tailwheel were the typhoon and Mosquito
