Thanks again for your help.
Yep, in the Gurney photo that is definitely a chronometric Smiths tach lying on its side to give the red line at the top. These can still be found and there are guys in the UK who can rebuild/repair them - I had one in my race Healey a few years back. They are bigger than the stock 4" instrument, fun to watch, and horribly unreliable.
The second steering wheel photo shows a completely different interior.
