Canadian Hurricane Instrument panel or is it ?

I have recently picked up this item assuming it was a British panel ( yes I know, never assume anything)
Any how from what I’ve found so far it appears to be a Canadian panel due to the Oxygen regulator. However there are several other instruments which appear to be ‘non standard’ and located quite differently from a British version.
Has any one had/ or got a Canadian panel or any pictures or plans that may help.
My guess is a MK1 Canadian panel but I just don’t know.

Let me correct my last statement… the RPM gauge is missing and the starting magneto switch is incorrect!

It looks like a home-made panel to me.

Here are some colour photos of a Canadian-made Hurricane panel. The instrumentation is complete and correct.

It does look a little rough for an original panel.. I dont think orginal panes were easily rippled like that?

It has the look of a home made panel, the originals being pressed with a continuous lip around the edges. Your example looks to have been folded from sheet. It has some good instruments and certainly looks the part though.
