a (CM M/U 18)_v_c_o_AKP (NASA-Marshall photo, no. 3-2133-1, S-64-10369 eq, NAA Photo no. 7005-90-12 A eq)
“This is a mock-up of the three-man Apollo spacecraft command module, the living quarters and command center of the spacecraft. This unit is being developed by North American Aviation, Inc., under direction of the NASA - Manned Spacecraft Center, Houston, Texas.”
Interesting...two of the hinged panels visible serve as window covers. Was this a ‘pre-‘ boost protective cover design? Can’t be...
Also, note the large rocker (vice toggle) switches on the main instrument panel. To more safely accommodate the limited dexterity of pressure suit gloves?

The following appears to be a close relative. Disappointing - over half a century later - Boeing is still greedily clutching the photo rights. Because I'm sure the public is flocking, in droves, to get their 'hands' on these DIGITAL images! Maybe they should team up with Getty, Alamy and the like...consolidating their price gouging efforts...of mere DIGITAL photographs:
