Nothing to hand so OH I'm afraid if correct.

It certainly is the P1 panel from the Mighty Hunter. There's a reason the horizon topples to 90 degrees; I could explain but it's been a long time and the flight instruments are not exactly straight forward (the picture is actually from the ground school Flight Instruments lesson slides!).

For those wondering about the 'flown as a twin' comment, The Speys (RB.168 Mk.250) were at their most efficient at 92% RPM so to keep them in that band on task, we'd shutdown (or idle) engines on task to conserve fuel (obviously dependent on AUW and Alt).
