I visited that museum but I don't recall seeing that engine.  The numbering looks German.  Looks like a valve cover from a V-12.  Jumo or Daimler-Benz?  I'll guess Jumo, because they have a Ta 152.    :)

*Edit*
Jumo and DB are inverted V-12.  So it's not German, or it's a crankcase cover, or I'm really lost.   :)
