Some disagreement in the books & photos there, too. But AFAIK, all US models were equipped with the oil pressure in the upper left, temperature lower left, fuel upper right, and ammeter lower right.

Strangest clunk I ever chased turned out to be in the brakes. The rear brakes on some early TR3As didn't have hold-down springs, but rather adjustable posts for the shoes to rest against. Not sure i
