Nice picture, if a bit dark. IIRC, the Ju-52 was one of the aircraft that the Nazis trusted the French to build "under license" in Occupied France. IIRC, the immediate post-war French Amiot AAC.1 "Toucan" version of the Ju-52 was likely a perfect copy of the Junkers version, possibly with French language instruments and placards. In any case, the instrument panel was probably compatible with Junkers built Ju-52, and there's no reason why any other functional part of the cockpit should be different.
Sita, unless you see any obvious differences in the layout of the AAC.1 and the Ju-52 instrument panel, treat them as the same plane.
