I agree. The primary speed dial should match the unit of measure the odometer registers.

Another update for anyone interested in printing their own mph overlays.
After sometime in 1993 (I may be wrong and please correct me if I am)....some or all of the gauge faces in the cluster went from metal to backlit plastic. Here is a photo to show what the difference is between the two. You can not do an overlay on the plastic ones or you won't see your readings at nighttime when the lights are on. It is a problem that I currently have.

You should contact that guy on IG. I am not making them anymore. It looks like it could be one of the folks that received my adobe illustrator file and slightly modified it too. I don't like the way that cut out was made between the trip odometer and center hole but I can see why it was done that way. Also I would have kept the mph dial in a different color such as yellow in my case like the Canadian ones.
Also it appears to have been printed on backlit plastic which I didn't have capability to do but wanted to do for my HZJ77. It seems like any 70 series built sometime during 1993 and onward have the plastic gauges.

I actually did contact him and he simply said he doesn't sell them. Didn't really seem to wanna give any details or info. Like one of those guys who wants to keep everything secret you know?

Got it, Thanks!!!
I hope they work now as well, because this is a godsend for my math-deficient brain!! Even if I don't manage to get one created, thanks for doing this in the first place!!

You probably have the speedometer up to 180 km/h which seems to be common for troopies for some reason. Some 70 series have speedometers up to 200 km/h.
