That cockpit is terrific, and I hate to be a pain in the butt...however...that is a pre-war Spit cockpit. At the beginning of the war, the RAF began to replace those old ring and bead sights with reflector gunsights. Every photo I have of an RAF pilot sitting in either a Hurri or a Spit, shows a reflector gunsight in front of him.
"From our orbital vantage point, we observe an earth without borders, full of peace, beauty and magnificence, and we pray that humanity as a whole can imagine a borderless world as we see it, and strive to live as one in peace."
