I don't recognize it, but think it would make a fun game for the website. "Identify the part of the day"

It looks like the horn contactor...when you say steering control box, I assume you mean the turn/horn control, or trafficator?
To make sure it was an "extra" part, you might want to put an ohm meter on the wires and operate the trafficator t make sure all the contacts are in there.

the metal part of #113 here? https://www.mossmotors.com/Shop/ViewProducts.aspx?PlateIndexID=32788#top I am not sure, I thought my piece had sort of a triangular tab to hook the horn wire to, but if it is not this it may be a similar part from another British car.

I actually have the unit together as of tonight and everything works. Took a look at the breakdown of parts on the repair website and it does not show that part. I thought maybe out of my TR250 horn center but they have longer tabs on them. Now I can't figure out where it even came from now and the only car I've been working on is the TR3.

That sure looks like the chromed surround ring that fits around the horn button. It even has the correct dimensions. It should be shiny chrome. It actually does not attach to the horn button itself but instead attaches with its three tabs to the adjacent steering piece next to the horn button. When attached it is a beauty piece that surrounds the horn button.

If the horn continuity checks good...then your trafficator has to be assembled with all the parts.
I have a box of parts that I have no idea what they are, but they look to important to throw away. Occasionally I even figure out many years later what they are.
The only other guess I would have for your part is there are some thrust washers in the tranny that are tabbed. Your's does not look substantial enough to be one, but it is similar.

Had any visitors? I has occurred to me in the past that a devious trick would be to leave a couple of extra parts in the garage of a friend who is in the midst of reassembling a Brit car.
