Me110C-4 - Burnt warning plate

Gents,


This warning plate was recovered by Ian Hutton in July 1993 from the crash site of a Me110 C-4 at Slacksted, Hampshire. The aircraft was shot down on the 15 Aug 1940, probably by RAF Hurricanes of 249 Sqn. Can anyone discern what the plate says? It is about 52 x 25mm in size and clearly very burnt. A German speaker may have a better chance of deducing what it is for:

There was also a crushed 7.92x57mm case recovered at the same site. Interestingly it is fired indicating it was possibly fired by the rear gunner? Any comments on this appreciated:

Thanks in advance,
