Nutty, I think that you are introducing thought bubbles: no way would there be a third altimeter on a Wessie V. The Junglie drivers would be confused enough with two...

'Hovermeter', eh? That's a new one! We had Doppler indicator and cable angle (I think) but 'hovermeter' is not a term I've heard before.

smirky I seriously suggest that you're chasing rainbows with this hunt. Nearly all images I have show that to be a blanked instrument hole, so a Wessex V (or 2 or 4) seem unlikely to have anything there. If you are seeking a genuine Wessex V panel as used in the FAA, then maybe accept that it should be just that: a blank.
