What Cockpit?
Thanks - but I insist you take the helm A56, or declare open house. 
I just remember seeing the cockpit layout in the July issue which I used for an external shot challenge in September last year.

What Cockpit?
OK - sorry about the quality here - not much to go on
Not as many built as the Viscount - the images all seem to be taken form a single very grotty film AFAIK.
Yes - probably a test pilot in the RHS

Not a Jetstar and not British - I think only one flown.
Russian then....?
Could be , could be..............
Not a Tupolev................... and faster than the Tu-80
I'm running out of awful cockpit photos................

Next thought was to Google the Myasishchev M-50/M-52 since Wiki mentions only one flown, however only the M-50 flew and it had a tandem layout.
But your image appears on other sites - which claim is the Myasishchev 3M Bison-B. But this doesn't fit your clue?
See what ya think...

A lot of the instrumentation there matches the airwar.ru photo...
And this must be the port "Lateral" observation blister (No.32) with the Fire control Officer/Engineer's downward ejection seat (No.33).
I rest my case - your honour.
Bison.

It is the M-50 - sorry if the pictures confused - there are a lot of M-52 / Alant pictures that are listed as M-50's and the same with Bisons - I thought I'd winnowed them all out.
The grotty pics come from a video that you can find on Utube which I guess is the only source
Noyade has it

I'm not arguing about anything published about the M-50 - it was a Russian take on Valkyrie mission and about as successful
To the challenge
Looks pre 1960, I'd have said American but for the control sticks - so European?
