!!Attention!! The stuff provided here is coming from the Breguet 691's manufacturer's manual. If the Breguet 691, 693 and 695 were totally similar structurally, there are minor changes between the Bre 691's dashboard and the Bre 693/695's one. We own the 693's panel as well, but we don't have as much accurate data as for the 691. It will be published if needed.
