Factory or home-made overhead console?

So i was perusing the junkyard as usual on a saturday morning and stumbled upon a 94 f150 X cab. Had some slender wood dash trim (much thinner than Centurion's trim) and the seats were two tone blue and grey vinyl (seats were trash though). Then I noticed it had this overhead console. So naturally I took it off and bought it. Has a couple lights with individual switches, glasses holders for each side and a little flip down compartment that has some sort of radar detector mount built into it.

I can't tell if this is some special edition truck or not, everything looked different from a Mark III but then again ive only seen a couple of those. Unfortunately my interior isn't blue (and ive already got a Centurion OHC) so I probably wont use it anytime soon, but the spontaneous buyer in me had to have it. Anyways, heres the pics.

it is from a Mark III . A friend of mine had one exactly like that in his 95 Mark. Great looking one too. If you dont use it , let me know, my interior is blue.

I'd much rather have that than the more custom looking ones, at least for a truck with stock interior. I think it looks cool and at least close to factory. Its not a factory Ford one though, but I do think it is from a Mark III as well. I'd restain the wood part black.
