Is this a wwii panel? I have written what I assume goes in the spaces based on photos of similar panels. What should go in the others? What would be the correct gauges to be looking for. Thank you for any help.

Thank you all for your help, now that I have that list I will now attempt to fill it out. Andy your Tiger Moth is a beauty, I have flown in Tigers a few times and they are as you say heaps of fun!

Just to wrap this up; your panel is exactly as it left the factory.
The fit is as follows:
160 MPH ASI. Ref: 6A/290.
INCLINOMETER. Ref: 6A/389.
TURN & SLIP. Ref: 6A/675.
2600RPM GAUGE. Ref: 6A/678
ALTIMETER. Mk.XIVA . Ref: 6A/685.
P8 COMPASS AND TRAY.
2.1/2″ OIL PRESSURE GAUGE, (Ref not known)… (Although most these days use the rectangular 150psi Mk.XIV 6A/556 type)

Thank you both for confirming for me. I wondered as I haven’t been able to find a picture of an identical panel in a Tiger Moth, so wondered if might have been another Moth of some sort. Though I guess the flying Tigers all fly with such different cockpit fits it is not a surprise. The link provided by Propstrike is so similar I wonder if mine might be one of those. Thank you DE82EH, I am assuming from your screen name Tiger Moths are a passion, would you know instrument ref codes for appropriate ones to look out for?

The top R/H cutout is for the rev counter.
The vertical slot is for an inclinometer.
The bottom right cutout is for an oil pressure gauge.
HTH.

Aerovintage spares seems to suggest ‘yes’. Some of your apertures have been slightly tweaked, but it looks a good candidate.
