OK, so what do we know?

Biplane, probably US
Has link to a WW2 Bomber
It's aerobatic (g-meter)
Fixed pitch prop.
Supercharged if I am not mistaken (Gauge calibrated in Atm at 10 o'clock from the compass) showing ambient pressure and scaled poorly for a normally aspirated engine.
Two guages apparently both reading temp 'F' up to 200'. One is next to what I take to be the the oil press gauge (why the strange scale markings - 32 and 212?) so the other - presumably - what else but water temp - so it's possibly water cooled? Then why a CHT gauge too?
Is the front part of the screen glazed at all, or just has a high coaming?
