Shame on us
It's 2am here and I'm on my way to bed after a long day at work
I'll get a pic or two for you in the morning
I'll get one of the cluster in my car and another of a spare cluster I have that differs slightly in it's markings...they are both in km/h not mph though

Finally...
While my cluster is not in exceptional condition as you would like, I thought I'd show you it as no one else has, yet
Sorry about the poor picture quality but, my car goes into hybernation in winter (yes it's winter here) and as such it's sitting under cover in the dark with the battery disconnected and so I had to use the flash from the camera which has caused poor focus
...and this one is from my spare cluster, which is of no use to you as I had been using it to experiment with different colour gauges
Hopfully someone else will have better pics for you

OK I stripped down my spare cluster to show you it's original markings
The speedo markings are predominantly yellow compared to the one in my car, the shift points have changed position and on the rev gauge, the redline is at 5500rpm instead of 6000rpm on my car
