V1 or V2 rocket part?

Hi,

In the past 3 years I've found in different locations a strange tubular piece of metal like in the pictures below.
The diameter is approximately 54mm. Height of the remains of the piece about 57mm. Top of the part has thread to the outside.
In the narrowest part on the inside there's a screwed reduction (of what is left over of it). Towards the bottom, it looks like a cone shape shattered violently.
In the last piece of this kind that I found there's also something in a shiny metal protruding from the inner wall.
Anybody a clue what this could be please? An injection nozzle for a V1 or V2 rocket engine? Or another rocket like thing?
It doesn't look as a piece of a flak projectile to me.

Thanks for any help!
