Petr that is a bit different. Can you tell us about your engine? I've never seen that before.
There are so many differences in your late carrier and very few of them seem to have survived.
Does your dash panel have the four fuzes in the top?
I am surprised to see the white faced CAV ammeter. I thought it was an early British carrier thing. There are not many carriers that don't have the drop down bit for the Temp. gauge. It must have been a Dagenham Ford thing. My AOP is the same. It is July 1941. Much earlier than yours. Mine still has the two square holes in the rear plate but the air was ducted up through the rear deck, through a damper (like a fire) and out a mesh screen at the the level of the top of the hull. It has short sections at the rear plate and division plate to support the lower engine rails. Are you able to take some detail photos of the covers and frame around the radiator, before you close it in. My email is set up in my MLU profile. Thankyou for posting what you already have done. Nice British steering wheel too.
