Default Identifying an Aircraft Firing Trigger Mechanism

Wondering is someone can help me out and tell me what the item is on the 2
links below. It has 2 triggers and was made by Clarke Aero Pasadena. It was
with a lot of WWII radio gear I purchased, so I imagine its from a WWII era
plane, but would anyone be able to tell me what its exactly called and what
aircraft it may have been removed from. Thanks in advance.

It's a turret control unit. I don't what make or what aircraft it was
used in.

There is nothing - absolutely nothing - half so much worth doing
as simply messing around with airplanes.

Looks very like a B24 tail turret rig.
I had a ride in a B24 recently.
Spent 1/2 hour or so in the rear turret.
The manufacturer of the control/trigger h/w
for that was the very same Clarke of Pasadena.

If I had to hazard a guess, I'd say B24 tail ( for sure )
and nose ( maybe )
