Interesting. I’ve just noticed that the VSI is calibrated in metres/sec. A Swiss Hunter?
PS I’ve also noticed that the emergency canopy release is labeled in French: “TOIT CABINE”

dixi188 identified it as a Hunter,but no Mark; I42 asked if it was a Swiss Hunter,which it is,by layout and notations,but it is a Mk58 ,,on balance I`ll give it to I42.....Whenever he appears
the photo is credited to Anton Wildberg,but I can`t find it in his portfolios..
the other aircraft may be an F-5,or a Mirage,.

Thank you Sycamore. That was interesting. I didn’t even recognize it as a Hunter at first.
Standby until I get to my computer.

I always find this shade of blue a bit of a strain on my eyes:

Yes, the Mil V-12, the world’s largest helicopter. The only aircraft that I know of that has a two-story flight deck! It looks to me like an early Airbus prototype cockpit, where they forgot the side stick! 
And look what's across the road - a Tu-4.
Welcome to the thread, Kit. You have control.

Interesting picture Mel. Looks American, side-by-side, no ejection seats(?). No flying instruments on the right, but lots of strange instruments and a myriad of CBs, so it appears to be an operational aircraft rather than a trainer. How am I doing so far?

It is roughly alike the cockpit of the Douglas M-2
as I found on Firstaerosquadron
However I cannot find any photos of the later model cockpit.
Therefore I guess for M-4

I was hoping it might prove a little harder to find because as you say, photos of the later Douglas DAM's types are hard to find! and the M-2 cockpit you found doesn't have much in common to the M-4 except one particular instrument! True the basic panel shape is correct, but even the cutout for the throttle linkage is reversed, so very well done!
The image is on the net, having come from a Flight Archive article https://www.flightglobal.com/pdfarch...0-%201169.html
and on Avia Deja Vue Douglas M-1 - M-4
Self loading bear has control
