P-38 was Alum material on the blades and solid.
Shape doesn't look right for P-47.
There would be part numbers and serial numbers stamped in the base IIRC.

Probably Curtiss Electric and possibly P-39 just judging its shape.
Look at page 4 of this presentation for a bare blade and page 7 for one mounted on a P-39-

I once had a pile of C-46/B-26 blades and hubs. Looks the same in profile, and note the shadow of the removed cuffs.

I have a fair number of large and clear, original 8 x 10 Curtiss Wright close-up shots of various aircraft That used Curtiss Electric props, in which you can cleary see the numbers stenciled on the blades, while still on the various planes. If you can come up with some numbers, I might be able to help..
