Canada vs. USA gauge cluster and other oddities?

Hi all. Looking to buy a 2015 ML63 originally from Canadian market, now in the US. I've only noticed 2 oddities

1) The speed dial on the main gauge may be in Kph, but I can't really tell from the pics available. Both seem to go to 200, but the Canadian one the numbers seem to be offset from another US 2015 I looked at for reference. I know I can set the units in the display for Mph, and I mostly look at the big digital speed number in my GL550, but want to check if the dial gauge is actually in Kph, or maybe it will adjust with the settings??? Pics attached. Notice the position of the 60 in the US example is directly on the left 9 o'clock position and it says mph below the 200, but 60 is lower on the Canadian example. The only used AMG cluster on Ebay is a pricey $500, and I'd have to dig into any programming requirements if swapped.

2) climate temp dials are in Celsius, front and rear, but those are probably generic, not AMG specific, and easily swapped with used parts.

Any other oddities I should look out for?


Canadian market example, the car in question.

Seeing that this car will definitely exceed 200kph (performance package) I would think if the dial is Kph it should go higher.
