Status: offline 		The indicators are really unreadable however there seems to be too many engine indicators for single engine aircraft. But doesn't look like twin engine aircraft. I would say something with mixed propulsion like Ryan FR.

B-25J?


Something like that would be my guess. An aggressive internet search shows that North American used a very similar cockpit panel for their XB-21 and B-25 aircaft. While each cockpit can be easily modified for the needs of the aircraft/mission, the general configuration so closely matches a B-25's that I just got to conclude it is something very close and by the same manufacturer.

What they said.

Gunsight selector and bomb bay doors narrows your choice down quite a bit.

Status: offline 		It is in fact a B-25 instrument panel. I have a bunch more instrument panel pictures if anyone is interested.
