Bri. Not the Boeing P-29 according to my source which lists it as the XF7B-1. However the aircraft were I understand so very similar I am sure the cockpit layout was the same.
Therefore you have control.

Was going to suggest the big brother to the Dragonfly's in the background but there seems to be too many vertical pillars in the windscreen, so...
Prototype Sikorsky S-55?

I'll hazard a guess. The "DOWN" instrument is for the landing gear, given the novelty of retractable gear at the time. Also relatively new was the radio, situated on the floor, centre, just ahead of the joystick base. As the ship was radio equipped, I think the far left gauges are probably for volt and amperes (generator) output.
Apologies for the delay, haven't checked Mel's list yet to see if this has been done before:
Well, seems it has but the original is no longer displaying.
