The speedometer in the T-16 was made by Waltham Clock Company. Essentially a Jeep pattern speedometer but Waltham supplied Ford in the last two years of the war. Any jeep speedometer will fit but if you are a stitch Nazi, Waltham was the only maker I know of that put their name on the face where it could be seen. They tend to be fairly rare now as well.
A normal British/Canadian speedometer will fit into the instrument panel but you'll need to reverse the gear set in the angle drive adapter since the speed indicator was designed to go the opposite way from the USA made gauge.
