Weird E-Bay Tach with Gas Gauge?

Found this on e-bay. Vendor says its OEM, but I've never seen one like it. It sure looks OEM.

2019 BMW R1250 GSA - Yahoooooooo
1979 Honda GL 1000 - retro touring at its best.

Past:
'05 Sierra 4x4 - Had 270,000 KM and running well when it was written-off by a stop sign runner.
'94 F-150 from the "F word" company. I'll admit it...good truck. Sold what was left of it for $800 to a guy who came to pick it up at 11:00 PM with cash in hand. Hmm.
'79 Sierra Grande (Black) organ donor - perfect rebuildable 4-bolt 350 and a good TH350.
'76 Sierra Grande (Orange) - hate isn't too strong a word. Kid who bought it turned it into a hot rod.
'68 C-10 R.I.P. - Dad's old truck...too far gone to resurrect.
'59 C-50 - with hoist. Truck is gone, wife isn't. Nuff said.

Ive got this one nailed down fellas.. It is an optional chevy truck tach offered in the heavy trucks from 73-75. Reason being is you could get a vacuum or air pressure gauge in the lower left hand hole. It is kind of a neat idea to do this, but i do know through research that the gas gauges are notorious for failing early... I have two of the 73-77 clusters (you could infact find htem through 87 with the new font) and i found the 73-75 tach for my 74 (correct for my 74 c10) isnt working properly, but the gas gauge is!!!! but for what its worth if this particular tach/fuel gauge works in that cluster it would be neat in one of the 67-72 trucks, albeit an expensive and rare part to be modifiying...
