Pre-flight documentation photo of Command Module America's guidance, navigation and control panels, to include sextant, optics interfaces and the LEB Display Keyboard Panel. A number of oft-published in-flight photos of the crew were taken in front of these panels during their return to earth, to include:

Interesting to compare the 'Optics Control Panel', aka 'Panel 122' - below the eyepieces - to that of the Apollo 16 Command Module...I assume the nomenclature, specifically the VERB/NOUN list had not changed between flights:
