Anyone recognize this speedo?

Currently on a FS ad in Hemmings for a 912E.
https://www.hemmings.com/classifieds/dealer/porsche/912e/2360811.html
Is this from a 914?
It's not anything like the speedo in my 912E.
Thanks
Bill K

Looks like an 911 SC speedo from an '80(?) - '82.5 when the 55mph interstate speeds were mandated. Many people ordered a replacement with the higher MPH scale right after buying a new SC. It was a common "upgrade" so lots of these OE US units shown above were in great working order gathering dust on shelves or put to use in a 912 as seen here.

i thought the 55 speed limit was around 73' / 74' until????.
I think I remember driving from Hilton Head SC to NOLA and having to do 55 MPH.

Thanks for the tip.
Unfortunately, if you re-read my post, I don't have this piece. It is from a FS ad in Hemmings.
