Agreed, it looks like a ball separator from a ball bearing.
Thanks to both for the suggestion but it's made of brass and the edge of the holes is sharp/fine and would fail under pressure I think. If it was a ball bearing race what could it have been used with?
As stated, it looks very much like a ball bearing cage. https://www.wieland.com/en/products/solid-cages

It does not take any of the load, it simply keeps the balls separated and at an equal pitch. It needs to be a softer material so as not to damage any of the main components.
