Thank you. But I didn't refer to the panal, but to the cockpit canopy. I don't think, that there has been such a canopy either. Looks like someone made a repair job with a Ford Trimotor canopy or so.
@eltfell NO there has never actually been such a cockpit panel layout.. Just a few things are similar. That cockpit panel is quite simplified and was made for X-Plane simulator download by people less interested in historical accuracy than they are in flying that very interesting airplane for fun. There was no intention to deceive. Only to accommodate simulator pilots that tend to quickly come and go.

@eltfell The airplane is a virtual graphic construction. No
hardware adaption. No repair of metal parts. A video toy.
Primitive shapes drawn with a simple 3 view CAD program
were translated in software to make the virtual model.. The
process is limited in what it can produce. You are correct
this JU-52 does not display on your monitor photographically
historically accurate but it was never intended to compete with
the beautiful models of professional artists at Microsoft

Has there ever been a Ju-52 with that kind of cockpit?
