It sounds as if what you have might be similar to the "combination" from a
Triumph 1300 or a Herald13/60. It is the same size (4") as the original
speedometer. Originally, your car would have had, in the center from left to
right: a small (2"?) fuel gauge, a 4" speedometer, a 4" tachometer, and a
small temperature gauge.
