Maybe I am not understanding what you mean. The panels with instruments to the left of the pilots left arm are what I am referring to (I thought this was what you were initially referring to). There are two of them, the upper left side panel is not vertically oriented, it is canted out from the vertical perhaps about 20 degrees. The lower left side panel is canted about 20 to 30 degrees, as well. It's the same thing on the right side. The comment I made about the shuttle cockpit panels being similar is due to having spent *lots* of time in the training simulators (usually in the middle of the night, as they were reserved for astronauts during the day). The picture you supplied doesn't show the flight deck to the point you would be able to fully realize the similarities. Try these: http://www.unitedspacealliance.com/press/meds/meds01b.jpg http://www.unitedspacealliance.com/press/meds/meds15b.jpg and compare with this: http://209.41.125.134/Sightings/Icons/B2Lores.jpg I wonder if this general arrangement might be pretty standard, so I should not be surprised at the similarity.
