Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but the cockpit looks as though the airplane lived some sort of a civilian life before it was cut up.

Note the armrests have different upholstery than a stock -97. The instrument panel looks like it was custom built as it is similar to the ones H&P fabricated, (they always finished theirs with a light glossy gray). I think I can actually see two digital clocks on the left and right side, and finally, those look like civilian avionics trays on the copilot's side.

Yep, that looks like a pair of modern Davtron digital chronometers in the panel.
