Is this really a b-1 bomber?
This pic is going around the net, described as the panel of a b-1 bomber. Is that right? Click img for bigger.

It's a four-engine military aircraft, for sure. It has a panel for terrain-following and -avoidance. Lot of panel space devoted to fuel management. I don't see an armaments panel but the B-1 has a four-person crew.
I also don't see an obvious panel or control for the wingsweep function, but there are a couple of things I don't recognize.
Compare that image to this one:

The window layouts of the inside pic, vs. the air-to-air shot, seem different.
