Gauge Cluster Differences

It's somewhat common knowledge now about the differences between pre89 and 89+ gauge clusters (different redline, cleaner looking gauges, different speedometer).

I stumbled across a gauge cluster that doesn't fit into either of these 2 categories. I pulled it from a 89 Supra (didn't have an engine in it, so I don't know which crank it has). At first glance it looks like a 89+ cluster, except that it still has a 6500 rpm redline. So my assumption is that they made some 89+ clusters for the pre89 engines (6M crank cars).

Anybody know if Toyota made their gauge clusters to reflect which engine was in the car during the switch?

And some pics are attached to show the 3 different clusters, couldn't find a good 89+ pic so the white gauges will have to do
