It is an upgraded to glass older 73. I would think that is why the Smiths FMC in the center there. That is probably the one that runs the auto pilot.

Strange there is no EFIS controls on either side of the MCP either..  Very neat.

Looks like the EFIS controlls are directly below each of the screens.

Did some quick research, looks like they have upgraded the FMS, ND and PFD with an avionics upgrade from Universal Avionics. Looks like a nice setup.

Check out the EFI-190R and the UNS-1Ew.

Good stuff.
