Dash conundrum

Does anyone have the layout of a 51-52 F1 dash they can drop on here? I think the PO had a couple controls in the wrong spot or added an extra hole and I'm trying to decipher this mess. Thanks!

Missing ones labeled 3 and 4 I think were the choke and throttle lock. I posted this picture in my build #1 thread and asked what they were.

thanks guys. This was exactly what I needed. My controls were all mixed up and I think I have a hole I need to fill in unless I can find a bezel that works.

On my '51, 3&4 are turn signal indicators since the truck was converted to 12 volt.

Later!

Mr Ed, I did the 12 v conversion as well but the signal switch I have for the column has the indicators built in.
