Answer
Hi
USUALLY clusters are ordered by part numbers.
I am assuming that yours was. IF SO minor differences in the way it looks should not effect operation of cluster.
I would not worry about that.
As far as the gauge, that is probabally the way it worked.
I as long as they read correctly, what they do when "asleep" should be of no worry to you either.
If it really concerns you, call the place you bought the cluster from and see if they have different opinions.
I Hope this helps.
Just advice from experience.
Good Luck
