Yeah, based on that pic, I'd guess that it's probably one or the other.

Yes, i kind of guessed that.

Best guess would be that it is a baulk of recycled mixed plastics .

Very common in this sort of application and relatively very cheap .

There are some useful clues in the rub marks and especially in that circular hole .

Also a further clue in the reasonably accurate square edged form of the baulk .

Yes, i kind of guessed that.

My point was that based on nothing but that pic, it could be damned near anything. I couldn't even rule out metal just based on the pic.
