Due to its extensive post-WW2 use, there have been many modifications to the cockpits of most C-47s. Mostly modern navigation and radio gear, but sometimes more extensive changes.

In many ways, it would be more appropriate to have a later war variant of the C-47, since US aircraft production really expanded in 1943-44. That might also make it easier to find pictures of unmodified cockpits, since more of the later production aircraft are preserved as static museum exhibits.
