3°) I research also a good picture of the 'three face' MS 406 dashboard.
1) : the "contrôleur de vol ACDFK" used for flight in VMC or IMC:
- center : anemometre 700km/h
- left: Vario
- right: clinomètre (trim, angle axis aircraft/horizon)
- below: turn and slip indicator
it had a button on front for adjust a succion for gyroscope of turn indicator

2) ....the glass is... in plexiglas??, if it this, I think that the fire and weather blackened it


3) model MS 405 1/32 Azur and pictures from notice "intruments de bord Arméee de l'Air 1938" and "notice réparation avion MS 406, 1939"
( I sell fac simile of this notice)




below, this controleur is same, anemometer is different (260km/h in place of 700km/h)
originally, the color of number was white or very pale green, but with the years this radioactive paint change for this orange color.
