I purchased a new non-US 60180 kilometer instrument cluster to install in my stock 1971 FJ40 US model. Can I replace the 50 ammeter with an older 30 ammeter inside the cluster?

The short answer is no, but the later amp meter models use the fusible link as an external shunt resistor, so the sensitivity of the meter can be adjusted to be anything you want by varying the resistance of the shunt. If you make the fusible link twice as long, you can cut the sensitivity in half.
