Friend sent me this site and asked what cockpit is it?
Some clues but I can't solve it.
ARC-1 radio
L-2 Lear autopilot
an ILS installed indicated by the instruments
twin engine
full feathering
fire extinguisher
300mph a/s indicator on right side
nose wheel indicated by gear indicator
side by side seating in cockpit
not typical Lockheed, Boeing control columns

I've looked at lots of twins in and after WWII. B-25, B-26, A-26, Ventura, Harpoon,
airliners Convair 240/340/440 Martin 202/404 Douglas DC-2/3.

What is it?

I'd say it is a de Havilland DH.104 Dove.

Yes. No doubt. Never thought of that machine, especially with the 300mph airspeed indicator. THANKS!
