Ki-43 cockpit.I have no photo of the port side of the cockpit.
So, here are 3 CG pics I got.
Didn't expect that カム handle = 2-way handle (why did they use different names in the manual...
No.26 Hydraulic short-circuit cock (The cam handle in the manual)
...
Manual uses the term "Cam handle" for a pilot but "2-way cock" for a ground crew as an engineer.Thank you Shinpachi san.

Your translation dispel my confusion!
I would go though and crosscheck them again.

Thank you very much, SaparotRob.It's like knowing a guy who has all of Hideo Itokawa's files in his attic. I would not be surprised if Shinpachi-San has Jiro Horikoshi's favorite recipes too.
Sorry so much of mine is awful.

That is ... AMAZING !... I may in the future be able to supply photos of Ki-43 cockpits I took in the early 1970s. The instruments and control columns were missing but most of the other controls were still in the aircraft. ...
I see... I recently found all my missing negative albums and will slowly go through and digitize them. ...
Your M is a hand pump for emergency use. Oil flows from Tank to M, and M to 2-way cock as there is one way valve(弁歸不 or 不帰弁 in modern writing).1.カム handle = 2-way handle
It does make sense since hydraulic oil will go though the 2-way cock then to the U/D selector cock.
That's why one need to open the 2-way cock before he can operate the landing gear/flap handles.
2. Does it(M) represents the emergency hand operated cock?

3. Trying to figure out parts to the port side:

Shinpachi Your illustration of the starboard side is helpful, do you have the port side one? Those CG pictures maybe not correct.
4. It should have a engine prime handle some where.
Because in the manual, start up section
p47. 百七十一. 六 燃料注射... (except for cold weather, it does not have to prime the engine)

Thanks for the confirmation !Your M is a hand pump for emergency use. Oil flows from Tank to M, and M to 2-way cock as there is one way valve(弁歸不 or 不帰弁 in modern writing).
I have no idea about the port side details at the moment.
