Re: Part identification
Without an included "scale" an identification is difficult. Also there seems to be a little more of the part to the right that is not included in the photo. A few more views from different angles would help.
Making a guess, it does not seem to be a part of the landing gear. The distance the piston would move seems rather short, based on the size of the "body".
While B-24s were mainly "hydraulic" machines many planes had a few such parts. Late model P-38s had hydraulically boosted ailerons for example.
In fact, the hydraulic system of the P-38 operated the landing gear, landing gear doors, wing flaps, coolant radiator exit flaps, and along with the aileron boosters.
The part numbers may be useful if appropriate manuals could be located.
