Luftwaffe aircraft instrument panel

[Bv222]

I am hoping someone can help indentify this instrument panel, one suggesion is that it is from a Bv222 but I have only managed to find 2 very poor cockpit photos and they are just not good enough. The aircarft was obviously captured and evaluated by the Allies as there are 2 labels on the panel marked "RATE OF CLIMB" and "ALTIMETER". One BV22 was in fact test flown by Eric "Winkle" Brown. Any help/suggestions will be very gratefully received.
Many tanks.

It's certainly possible. With only 13 being built there probably was some differences between the instrument location of the V1, V2, V3, etc..

The seen Siemens Fl.32401 or FL.32402 series device is the remnant of variable resistor regulator that was used to control the instrument panel lighting.

Could it be a Bv238 V1 ,looks very similar. also a schematic from the net.

Many thanks for your reply. I don't think it could be from a Bv238 as only one aircraft was ever completed and that one was sunk at the seaplane base at Scchaalsee by RAF Typhoons/Tempests and wasn't recovered. Any information is hard to come by so all options are worth considering.

Many thanks for getting in touch. Having looked really hard(!) at one of the cockpit photos you posted, I think I can see a vacant rectangular slot just to the left of the instrument at the top right of the panel. Possibly, this instrument could have been re-positioned/deleted and that rectangular slot moved to the right

Do you know where it was found?

I picked it up in a yard in NW England, which specialised in aircraft scrap recycling.
