Identification of crashed WW2 US Aircraft by B&T Indicator

Hi all !

I have this B&T Indicator front part (display only, see image attached) of an US bomber that crashed in Germany (Ruhr area) in WW2.
Would it be possible to identify the aircraft type ?
I have a strong lead for an A-26 (43-22303), however I was told
initially it was a Marauder (B-26), which was probably wrong.

The only text on this instrument is:
A.F. U.S. ARMY
TYPE A-11
BANK AND TURN INDICATOR
A17-2U


Would it be possible to exclude B-26 and other bomber types
and rule in particularly A-26 ?

Thank you kindly in advance,
FrankieS
