What Cockpit? MK VI
Interesting combined RPM,fuel,possibly CHT,and oil temps/pressure gauge; possibly a radial up front,but can`t read the brake pedals- Continental ?Undoubtedly from the USA ?

Sorry, not the Callair, but yes, it is from the U.S.A. The combined panel instrument features a large tachometer surrounded by smaller oil pressure, oil temp, fuel quantity, and amp gauges.

Rudder pedals not visible on new photo. Clue: Taildragger powered by 85-hp Continental.

Okay, here is the original challenge photo exposing the rudder pedals:
More clues: Originally produced by a different company, but in small numbers. Take-over company produced gliders under license for the USAAF during WW.II. Started production of the mystery aircraft in 1945-46.

Fleet 80 Canuck, methinks.... but it has been done already. Even so, the rudders pedals fit and that center instrument pod shows up in other Canuck photos. An early modification or a variant, perhaps?

Rudder pedals - again.
EDIT:
Ooops! When I looked, I scrolled down immediately and guess all the pictures hadn't loaded. All I saw was the firebomber version of the AT-802 with rudder pedals in the picture. Didn't see the prior challenge or the current one. I do now.
