Default Cluster differences

Does anyone have pictures of the early clusters compared to the 1997 cluster?
Is there a clear difference? I haven't been able to find a picture of the gauges to put side by side.

My thinking on that is that I'm replacing the entire wiring harness since the car is a 400. I'm going to put the 2jz in so I'll put a 97 wiring harness and ecu and all the electronics should work fine.

My '98 Cluster looks the same as your '97, but on your gear selector panel it reads "P R N D 2 L" mine has "P R N D 3 2 L" I didnt know there were so many transmission changes

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe the 97 down had the 4spd older tranny, while the 98+ had the updated 5spd tranny.
