Can anyone identify this prop?
Doves typically had a DH PD.143 prop. I can't see a part number anywhere in those photos, but If there is one anywhere on the prop, that would be a clue.
Failing that, blade length would help.

It's a three bladed controllable pitch prop, but apart from that there's not much more I can say about it. Do you have larger versions of the images in your first post? I cannot read the labels on the blade on these photos. Which way does it turn? Is it for a LH or RH (viewed from the back) rotation installation?
The number on the hub starting with PR1911 appears to be a blade assembly part number. The TCDS for the D.H.104 shows this part number in the list of approved props for the de Havilland D.H.104 Dove family: https://drs.faa.gov/browse/excelExte...7007014DE.0001
It could still be a blade type that was used in various other applications... but the numbers do appear to fit. The assembly numbers in the TCDS have some additional bits that I can't find on your blade, it would help if the last bit of the blade assembly number would also match.
