I think it could be the bottom panel on the left wing of a Grumman E-2 Hawkeye. In this photo you can see where left of the insignia there is a very similarly shaped dark spot to the hole in the panel in your picture.

Just so you know, a C2 and an E2 are the same platform. It could be from either one.

I tried looking all over for a date, but no luck. Some of the hydraulics say Grumman, but other than that I couldn’t get any More info.
Asked the seller, they didn’t know either.

How much did they want for it? Just curious, though it would probably make a sweet table (though a bit curved)

Asking was $1100, but I got the impression that was negotiable.
Outside of my price range for a desk unfortunately.

Grumman C2 Greyhound. You can see the flap with the hook in this picture. It anchors the folded wing in place.

Closeup of the hook on opposite wing showing same panel door shape and a bit of the flap hinge.
