Can anybody help to identify this part found in southern Germany. Caliber 50 cartridges were found nearby.

Of the two inspection stamps
The first I do not recognise
The second is a Heat Treat stamp indicating the part was made from annealed alloy then heat treated for strength.
 
Republic Aviation had 2 plants - the first one at Farmingdale NY, and a later second one at Evansville IN. The Farmingdale plant used an RE, while the Evansville plant used RA.

EDIT! Changed "The Farmingdale plant used an R, while the Evansville plant used RE." to "The Farmingdale plant used an RE, while the Evansville plant used RA."
