These photos show a display in a museum, as can be guessed by the first photo, and not an operational aircraft. The main differences are that there's a red cushion in the seat where the emergency pack normally goes, and a grey in the seat back where the parachute goes. On the front panel, at the top and right, there's an instrument missing, it's the backup artificial horizon which evidently has been used as a spare on another aircraft.

The "Range and altitude of target" tapes are there because this is one of the S 35E Drakens which were converted from J 35D fighters.
