Aircraft ID from an oxygen bottle ??

Hi Chaps and ladies,

I've taken a rubbing from an oxygen bottle found by a diver rolling around on the sea bed off the south Cornish coast . . .the bits I've found are :

" SAUERST OFF
LEER 2.21 KG FULL 150 ATU
11.10.40 "

(Note , there is then a circle with the following inside : TU 9 )

Then :

" 293480
87144
Luftwaffe
PR 225 ATUZ. 02 LTR "

There is an umlaut about letters ' U ' . . .my apologies to our German friends for my keyboard not having this key ! So what do you think ? Can we identify the aircraft from the dteails given ?

I look forward to your views.

Andy.
