Default Dash Cluster differences

I have two Neon dash clusters w/e tach. I was under the impression that all of these from 1995-1996 were identical. I have discovered at least two differences, the dash indicator lamp below the high beam indicator on one is labeled “HAZARD” but has never had a bulb in it and the same location on the other is labeled “DOOR AJAR” and does have a bulb in it. Also, the one with the hazard light marking has a 7000 rpm tach and the other has an 8000 rpm tach. Except for the one light socket they still appear to be interchangeable.
One other thing I noticed is that the dash bulbs are not the standard peanut bulbs they appear to be, the bulb and the plastic twist socket base are all one piece.

Are there any other versions?

Actually the ones I have are the Canadian or metric version. The only difference from the US model is the numbering on the Speedo, both are the same range. I’m not sure if the metric odometer module is different or if there is a different setting on the circuit board.

ORIGINAL: das2123

The mattdog clusters read up to 150MPH.
But is the kph or mph the main speed? Just wonderin. Oh and das I got the 3.0L cai in, it took forever to get the stock intake out but with a little fabricating I got it in there and it sounds awesome. It has an awesome growl to it.
