They sure did make L200 sports models.
I am rebuiliding / retrofitting a 81 MA L200 ute.
I also looked about for a better instrument cluster. I pulled one from a MD Diesel.
I converted the tacho mech with a petrol drive from a Toyota corolla mech.
Both instrument panels are made by Nippon Denso.

The petrol sports models were available in the MB -MD models between '82-'85
They have a silver bar around the writing, but I prefere the plain black and white ones.
