Looks like the top one is MCDU. You can do things like type in latitude and longitude coordinates to fly to.
Bottom panel looks like radio tuner, so just for entering radio frequencies and maybe transponder codes.
From other comments it appears this is not a shop. I don’t know why ATR would use this design. There are definitely other planes where you can key in radio frequencies into the MCDU.

At least W and S have been circled for some fucking reason

Yes but you didn’t consider the fact I’m dumb as shit so
