I have seen the clock, don't have one. The dish ware was probably just props for the photo shot, including the tea kettle.

Espen,
We used to actually have a set of dishes like these (30 years ago) and they were plastic. You would find old dishes like these here in the US at flea markets and yard sales and I have seen this pattern in recent years, same for the tea kettle. I have a GMC clock, but not this one with the white face.

FYI:
The GMC MH models used a number of different clock faces. The white faced one (as shown in your photo) is what you want for a Sequoia. Many GMCers have changed out to newer designs. An ad in GMC club newsletters and contacting GMC vendors that upfit should find some clocks.
Suggestions already offered are probably your best chance to get the tea pot and dishes.
Don't have any suggestions for obtaining a duplicate red head.
Congratulations on bringing the Sequoia back to "as new" condition.

Sorry, but the only way to find that era GMC clock would be someone having it from another GMC.
Of course, with the cheap battery driven movements, you could duplicate the physical appearance of that clock, especially if some one could send you a high quality digital image of their OEM clock.
Unfortunately, I had no clock in either of my GMC's.

Good day, Espen.
It may be wise to consider that the "pattern" of dishes and everything else in that ad may have been "invented" by the graphic artist who created that advertisement!

make a GMC clock, many aftermarket clocks are similar, just use hard board
(like one uses for certificate printing and print a "GMC" clock face.
replace the original face of the clock you choose with it and you have a
modern GMC clock. :)

If you zoom in closely on the plates in the picture, it appears they have
slightly different floral designs. That could suggest they were hand
painted either by the plate producer or by the prop company.
