Here are two images I recently acquired. The First is labeled 1949 170S ( a Cab B)
and the second is the dash of a 1949 170S Cab A.

the second picture with the dashboard is strange ,because of the white instruments and missing chrome parts and a strange handglove compartment the dash of the 170s cab a has leather it has also position lights on the fenders
it looks if it is a prototype and the modified the dash from the prewar 230 cab A

I thought that the early post war cars had white faced gauges.

... until 1952 you could order for the v-type the special item "white instruments" (and a white steering wheel) optional. This option was not official pricelisted, but mercedes allowed this in the internal selling-papers. I think, they had pre-war parts in stock.
