I looked at a number of
Rolls-Royce Merlin​
Spitfire airplane engines at several angles and exploded diagrams and I come up with this tag under the prop shaft in front and below the supercharger, possibly to do with the fuel pumpRolls-Royce_Merlin.webp

A good bet would be the data plate off of the Tach Generator. It sends the prop rpm to the cockpit RPM gauge.

These are still used on modern turboprops today.
