Surely the dash in the top right photo is just an early panel intended for the civilian style cluster fitted with an adapter plate to take the later instruments. I would guess that this is an Australian mod in the interests of standardisation when the civilian clusters became hard to source from the military supply chain.

As Grant says the 'standardised' round gauges come in many variations but at least they fit the holes ! Also reproductions of the more common ones (like for jeeps) are available.
