It's not a muzzle cover, it's a mop cover for a 2 pdr pull through. Known as cap, sponge, no 4.
Usually have a drawstring though and muzzle covers have a strap so I'll check the CM number and confirm either way!
Can anyone identify what this muzzle cover is from?
Canvas, 1943 dated, 2 1/2 inches diameter, about 10 1/2 inches long.
The only markings are the maker H&S 1943, and No 4 CM 231B (The B might be 0 D or 8)
Wanted: Baton/Irritant rounds (inert) and associated items, .700 NE (inert) and boxes (empty), .32-40 cartridge boxes (empty), WW2 British shotgun cartridge boxes (empty), Greener Police Gun cartridge boxes (empty). Message me if you have any of these items for sale/trade.

Thank you tankbarrell.
I’ve had a closer look and there are four holes for a drawstring. The strap has a faint S&P maker mark and 1943 date, so it looks like the strap was added as a modification to replace a drawstring.

I've seen things you people wouldn't believe.
Barbeques on fire by the chalets past the castle headland
I watched the gift shops glitter in the darkness off the Newborough gate
All these moments will be lost in time, like icecream on the beach
Time for tea.
Artillery tools and equipment such as canvas items all had C.M prefix part numbers.

Yep, it's a no 4 sponge cap. CM 2310. The added strap is a new one on me.
