All of the parts you're looking for will have to come from parts cars. Any full-size (88, 98, Toronado) Olds from '74 through '76 and any '77 or '78 Toronado should be a possible source of parts for your car's dashboard.
Dash plates, etc. are dependent on what options the car has as there are different cutouts in the dash plates for the various switches. In other words, a car like yours that did not have cruise control will have a different dash plate than one that did have it as there will be a cutout for the cruise control switch if that option was present. The same for the rear window defogger, power antenna, and, if a station wagon, the power tailgate and power rear window. The cruise control, rear defogger, and, I believe, Twilight Sentinel switches were on the left-side dash bezel while the power rear window, power tailgate (for station wagons), and seat belt warning light (all models) were on the right side bezel.
The bezel will also be different depending on the type of wiper system (with or without wiper delay and with or without low washer fluid indicator) and the type of air-conditioning system (no A/C, standard--"Four Seasons"--A/C, "Tempmatic" A/C, or Comfortron, the last of which would have a cutout for the temperature dial). As far as the switch locations, I think that the factory made only one dash plate with the mounting location for each switch present but not punched out, and then whatever mounting location that needed to be punched out to mount a particular switch was punched out when that particular car was assembled.
I would suggest contacting a user on this site who goes by the username "bigdooly." He is parting out several mid-'70s full-size Oldsmobiles, and he may have some of what you need. I don't know if he will ship to Turkey. I have purchased several items for my Toro from him. He's very good to deal with.

thank you jaunty85 and thank you bigdooly. My bad not getting into detail with plates so pls let me clarify. Car has rear defogger switch right under the radio and that's it for the middle plate. on the left side, it has a/c, wiper w/ delay and light switch. Just like picture below without cruise control. If it's clear i can make an offer for the whole dash (mine is blue though). my e-mail is mumitli@hotmail.com. I can also send an e-mail.

these are exactly what i'm looking for. Just one thing; is the side mirror adjustable from inside? you know the little joystick kinda thing. If yes, i'm also all in for the mirror. the rest is just looks greast including the wiper arms. I hit you up with the e-mail. Please check and let me know.
thanks.
thanks.
I looked at dad pix you sent, but they where not that clear. You need radio plate from green olds I have, because it has Defoe switch provision. It looks like your car does NOT have cruise control, so the other plate from green olds will work for you, and the woodgrain finish will match one another.
I will remove arts shortly, and send photos of them I will also check all radios to see if one works, but I doubt any will.

This is more what the '76 radio looks like. In '76 they switched to chrome push buttons. The AM/FM selector is sometimes more like the one above and sometimes like this. I've seen both.
