Extra credit for identifying the specific mark of this one. The differences are clearly visible in the instrument arrangements.

Evansb is correct. For your extra credit, I will ask the administrators to insert a gold star by your name on the left!

Is the aircraft from the US? (I'd think so as all the instruments are. )

Is the airplane an "experimental" i.e. amature built or manufacturer series production?

It was factory built in the U.S.A. Approximately 100 were built, about a dozen are on the FAA registry.

evansb's challenge

The panel layout looks similar to that on the Travel Air 12W except that the panel on this aircraft is metal not wood.
