What Cockpit? MK VI
A large number of these aircraft were built and saw service.
It is a German aircraft
So, rapid firing...and not on your list...
Arado 66
Gotha 145
Heinkel 46
Heinkel 60
Henschel 123
Henschel 126.
But if it is against "What Cockpit?" etiquette, I will list them individually one post after the other..for your appraisal.
I would hate to break the etiquette.

Arado 66.....maybe? (can find no images on the internet.)
You have it it is indeed the Arado 66C . Got to make you work for it.
The Ar 66C found an entirely unexpected combat role late in the Second World War. The Russians had been carrying out night-time nuisance raids using the Polikarpov U-2 biplane. This inspired the Germans to form Night-harassing squadrons (Störkampfstaffeln), before in October 1943 a larger scale effort was put in place with the creation of the Night Ground Attack Groups (Nachtschlacht Gruppen). Around 2,000 Arado Ar 66Cs were modified to carry 4lb and 8lb anti-personnel bombs, and served with most of the sixteen squadrons within the new groups, in particular with NSGr 2, 3 and 5 over the Soviet Union, NSGr 8 in Finland and NSGr 12 in Latvia.
You have control

Looks interesting Graeme.
The diagram on the panel for the landing gear position indicator would suggest a swept wing aircraft with possible cheek intakes. The English markings and grey panel suggest a western aircraft about mid 1950s.

Is it a test aircraft `modified from an earlier model ? British or USA ?
Mel.............Swept wing but no cheeks. Late fifties.
Sycamore....Built to fill an order and based on an earlier design. American.
Bri..............Sorry mate.

Republic XF-84H Thunderscreech..?
Republic XF-84H Thunderscreech..?
This jets speed was limited by the melting temperature of plexiglass (According to the article).
The "T" lever, above the landing gear indicator, which Mel pointed out, retracted the ventral fins in an emergency...
That should help, but I gotta leave for work shortly.
