Blenheim or Halifax part?

When investigating the crash site of Blenheim L9453 WR-Z In Hemnefjord Norway today, we came upon this fuel tank.

Is it possible to verify if it belongs to the Blenheim?
Two Halifaxes collided in the air in the same area, so it might belong to a Halifax too.

Added a few pictures of the tank which I hope will solve the case

regards Kjell Sørensen

Thanks Jan and Phil.

Here are two more pictures. At least one of them is from a Halifax I believe.
