Ladislav Smrek of the Czechoslovakian State Aircraft Factory designed the L200 in the mid 1950s to develop a replacement for the early postwar vintage Aero 45 and 145 light twins.
No doubt modernised some of the original design features.

I didn't know that.
Considering the Morava had a capsule like cockpit quite different to the Aero series the cockpit seems to have transposed quite well into the later aircraft.
I don't know why but the Morava reminds me of the Meyer 200 (later the Aero Comander 200).

Ooo.
I'm going to kick myself when it's been spotted, but it beats me.
I think it's a French gunsight? (Certainly not US, UK or associated nations) It's not American, so you are saying it can't be a (French operated) P-47...
Not a British layout, doesn't look German, but I'll guess at Fw190...
Could be a Russian Gunsight, but there's too much 'stuff' for a W.W.II Russian a/c IMHO.
Gah...
MReyn24050, regarding the Dewoitine D-520, a good question, and you sent me scurrying to my references!
Acording to our MMP book on the '520, by Bartlomiej Belcarz, that position and surrounding area is occupied by the 'Oxygen Inhaler' (regulator we would say in English) but I should add that the cockpit on the Musee de l'Air's reserve example (which this is) looks a bit bodged up in comparison to the wartime manual drawing.
