Northrop Booster Ejection Cylinder - help identify?

[jcm]

I'm posting this on behalf of JJ Tiziou, son of the late space journalist Jacques Tiziou.
One of the artifacts Jacques had in his basement is an interesting flown object
marked:
 Northrop
 Booster Ejection Cylinder
  Part N
  3T 06
 Date of inspec[ion]... (illegible)
 Burst E[.... illegible]
Photos attached.

Can anyone identify what kind of vehicle it comes from? Jacques was friends with many in the US space program in the Apollo and Shuttle eras.

That Northrop logo should help set a time-frame.  I wonder if this could be from the Snark era.
See, for example, https://patents.google.com/patent/US2833494A/en

Snark boosters were ejected after only a second or two, and may have fallen on land or in shallow water so parts could have been recovered.

Ed - that actually looks very plausible! Thanks
