Oil level/oil pressure/gauge question - seem too high?

haven't driven my '87 for a few weeks, but it has a fresh oil change... at warm idle, the reading on the dipstick is probably 3/4 to 7/8 to the upper level - between double dots. while driving, i'll show '4' or a bit above on pressure, but still 1/2 gauge on oil level gauge. running, sitting idle (red lights, etc.), i'll see 2-3 on pressure gauge and a very high reading on oil level - see pic. 2nd pic is at speed - 4 on pressure gauge and above mid-range on level.

i would think it was possibly overfilled, but the reading on the dipstick is within range and i did the oil change, so i know it's not way off.

thoughts? seem odd to anyone?
