No pics in your link
That's odd, the pic comes up for me, from the link. I'm very late responding to this (again) - had a bad health scare, now I have degraded vision in my dominant eye which makes it even harder to make out the details in these photos. Old age...
 
Manifold Pressure, left and right? What a poorly laid out instrument panel! Accident looking for a place to happen. Designed for manufacturer's convenience, not aircrew safety. Maybe they just didn't have a two needle MAP gauge handy when they were hooking up this "test" panel. Can't believe they would go into production with a hodge podge panel like that.
The Army pilots who flew it agreed with you.
