UXO or not?

[wkorsvik]

This item was found nearby a site used by the Norwegian resistance group MILORG during WWII. They worked in close relation to the british SOE and got most of their stuff from them. Could this object be of any origin containing explosives or is it probably just some junk like a dynamo or similar?
