Speedometer (スピード メーター), Tachometer, Clock, etc. for Datsun B210 Sunny.

Overview
Most B210 models used a square-gauge dash, which were considered "modern" at the time.
High-line models — in Japan and South Africa — used sporty round gauges
JDM GL Sedan:
High-line round-gauge dash (GX Sedan and all JDM Coupes):
GX featured 180km speedometer, while all others used 160km unit.
The Round gauge cluster was quite similar to the B110 Cluster Gauge, except fitted with sloping glass lenses for anti-glare characteristics.
Lesser B210s used rectangular gauges (kaku meters, literally angle meters)
like these GL sedans:
Dash frame
Round vs Rectangular
Japan-market B210 GX came with round gauges, as did all JDM Coupes (including DX Coupe)
GL Coupe 160kph
GX Coupe - 180kph with tach
Common gauge set was rectangular (Sedan STD, Sedan DX and Sedan GL and all Van). Most export countries also used rectangle meters — even on GX models.
PB210 ditto:
* PB210 Sedan DX and Sedan GL used square gauges.
* PB210 Sedan GX and all Coupes used the sport instrument cluster with individual guages

Round (maru) type
Auxiliary Meters
Square Gauges: Three large, plus one small next to radio Round Gauges: Three large, plus three small over radio
OPTION: small gauges could be fitted to the console.
Small Round
B210 Round Cluster was flanked by three small gauges (Clock, AMP, OILP) above the radio. Clock was standard on GX, optional for the others. Voltmeter replaced the AMP gauge for B211 (after 1975 October).
early: Clock | AMP | OILP late: Clock | Volts | OILP
For early B210, the GL grade came with OIL.P and AMP moved to the console
For late JDM B210, the OIL and Volts could be moved to the Console, and then Calendar and Altimeter fitted to the dash.
Small Square
B210 rectangle dash had space for one small gauge (Clock or Calender). If no options were fitted, an 'S' or 'D' blanking plate was attached.
#Small Clock was OPTION
#Calendar was OPTION (late B210)

Because of the curved B210 dashboard design, RHD and LHD clocks angled differently.

Tachometer
RHD vs LHD
For rectangle gauge dash, the large meters (clock, tachometer and speedometer) differ RHD vs LHD. They are almost the same but mount at slight angles, so the cases differ. Discussion: 120y b210 factory tacho meter (US LHD model)
The small gauges (e.g. small clock) are same RHD and LHD.

Swapping Round Gauges
The dash for round gauges differs from the standard dash.
Using Round gauges in Rectangular dash can be achieved with some cutting of the dash frame and modifications to the gauges.
