I can't seem to recall another aircraft with the pilots and copilot throttles duplicted with them being to the left of the co-pilot and the right of the pilot (left seat). Make sence given given thats where they are for a single central control stand, but other split cockpit aircraft like the b-29 has the throttle on the outboard side of the seat. Seems like this would make it harder to get in/out of the seat.

Mark any more interior shots of the B-32?
