Just wondering if anyone knows what the plug was used in ?

An interesting plug. It is Australian Navy marked (N2) and MO is Maribyrnong Ordnance as you possibly already know.
It looks too long for a projectile plug. Is the thread 2"x14 pitch as used in most ordnance? Is it steel or bakelite?
It may fit one of the long VT type fuzes.

Thanks for your reply.

The plug is made of steel and the thread height is approx. 19 - 20 mm's with the thread width approx. 53 - 54 mm's.
