Default Speedometer Advice Needed

Hi all
I am currently restoring an instrument cluster for an Australian 2pdr Anti-Tank Carrier. This is the first one of these I have done and I noticed that the speedometer face was different. All Ford Blitz and Carrier speedometers I have restored to date have all had the gear change quadrants on the face. In this case those quadrants are not there. Given that these 2pdr Carriers were a one off 200 batch in 1942, I need to know whether they all had this type of face. So if anyone has access to a 2pdr Carrier with original instrumentation, I would like to know.

I've attached a scan of the face, didn't scan too well, with a comparison of the standard face as I know it. The 2pdr face is mounted on a Stewart Warner speedometer head Part No. 97050.
