Windmill Part?—Round 2

Have a part you can't identify? Did your parts get mixed up in the shop? Curious if that chunk of metal is a part you should keep? Not sure what kind of windmill or tower you have? Post photos of the mystery object here for the community to help identify.

Farm Implement part of the header that brings the grain into the cutter bar would have two with slats between them, it rotated. It's got a name can't think of it right at the moment. Does the same as the part in another thread.
