WWII fighter bullet proof protection I.D.?

[30Three]

I hope someone will be able to help me identify the type of fighter this bulletproof panel came from.
it's just a small piece of local WWII history; of no real consequence; but interesting all the same.
I was chatting to one of my neighbour's at a recent village event. He is 85 years old and has always lived at the farm. I asked him about his wartime experiences as a boy in occupied France. He mentioned that a German fighter had crashed near to the farm and some of the bits had come down in their field. They recovered the steel plate that was the pilot head and shoulder protection behind the seat. I asked him what he did with it; so he told me it's still on the workbench in his workshop. He's been using it on the bench when he needs to hammer anything. So I called in on Sunday morning and got a photo of my friend with his prize! 73 years on. (They had cut off the fixing brackets so it would lie flat on the bench)
