Default instrument face

Here is a pic of my dash, there has been lots of speculation about what is correct and what is not (speedo face early brown & white or later gray & white truck style). I think they would have utilised whatever parts were ordered or they had at the time.
The gear segments were blacked out, when installed at the factory, this is due to the gear change ratios on the speedo face being different due to tracks & sprockets.
The fuel gauge was also painted black, as the BGC did not have an electric sender unit. Needle removed. They had to fill the hole in the instrument cluster.
I used matt black adhesive contact, in case I need to later remove the black.
