The oil temperature in both pictures is too low to give an accurate oil level reading (especially the 2nd pic). On my car (1987 Turbo), the oil temp pointer must be above the 2nd hash mark on the gauge (in other words, above 200 degrees), for the oil level to be measured accurately by either the gauge or the dip stick (both thermostats fully open at that point). By the way, the gauge and dip stick give equal readings for me.
