Hello again, Matt.
I did a quick search on the web last night for images of various aircraft cockpits. Frustratingly, most of these photos concentrate on what the instrument panel and controls look like. Nobody seems to care what the pilot has to sit in.
That being said, I did notice a few design similarities between your seat (aircraft) and those of the Wirraway and Boomerang. The metal on the sides of the pan appears formed around a bent steel rod in the same way. Most noticeable in the front corners.
Perhaps this part belongs to an aircraft designed down under during the war. Any markings show up on it anywhere?
