Re: Dornier 217 crashed in Salerno 16 sept. 1943
The label is prefixed "9" to denote engine parts. The next number, "801", is the engine type - BMW 801. The rest of the numbers appear to just be part numbers/stores reference numbers.
Included in your photo of parts recovered there is what looks like one of the throttle levers. Also, part of one of the elevator mass-balance weights. (This is the curved steel part painted green with part number R8 -217 358. I expect it is quite heavy!)
