Carl Mortenson, the designer is certainly an interesting character:

He returned to the States in the early 60's, yet with no formal education in aeronautical engineering, designed and built a high-wing prototype, which led to the final produced Evangel 4500.
My bolding! Obviously, Divine guidance helps when you are unqualified.

The first prototype was completely different:

The pusher twin is the Angel 44:

I'm a bit worried about the location of the door relative to the left seat! Also, Mr. Mortensen didn't know about one of the design features of the Beaver - you can roll a fuel drum up a ramp and into the cabin.

I have already looked at various observer airplane cockpits
when posting my previous challenges.

This is the Partenavia P.68

It certainly is the P68.

How about the Breguet Atlantique 2 ?

Now also known as Dassault Atlantique 2 with
the newly upgraded glass cockpit for the French.

Something from Pipistrel?
