Terrance, I had a google based on Mr Booglebox...

douglas dauntless cockpit - Google Search

Your photo appears third row from the top, third from the left on a site devoted to the Dauntless.

It it the Army version?

Yes,Graeme,it is the A-24A (Banshee)?
In fairness to Booglebox, and considering the generic type of panel, his answer should stand as correct. Or does that muddy the waters further still?

I am going to try a Fuji 200 Aero perhaps. Rudder pedals gave me a clue.
