Rally Pack Gauge from 1973 GMC motor home. Same as Olds?

Whoever designed the 1973 GMC motor home with Olds drivetrain, had Oldsmobile in his blood. Does anyone know if this Rally Pack gauge is from an Olds also? Take a look at this eBay listing and this picture

It looks like the gauge pod style used in '68-69. '73-74 Cutlasses used a similar setup but the face had a white "ring" around it. The pic I put up is from a '73 H/O. Better grab it quick the add says it has a 4 bolt main 455 in it!!!

They said this thing is used, but I have my doubts. Looks new to me, just some lot damage.

Very similar & probably uses the same guts, but the '68-'69 Rally Pac gauge pod has tick marks like a clock face in the center circle of the gauge (that match the clock in the tach).

I found one of these too. Indy 68 s is correct about the hash marks. The motor home I found mine in was absolutely full of dirty clothes including dirty pink bras and underwear. It looked like a dirty underwear factory had exploded inside the thing. What is it about some of these salvage yards? It is like the previous owner of the salvaged car tells all his neighbors that he just got off the phone with the salvage yard. They are coming to get the car, truck, motor home or whatever it is. Then I think he tells the entire neighborhood to bring every peice of old dirty clothing, trash, and old shoes and fill the car to the brim before the salvage man gets here to tow it away. We have one yard in our neck of the woods that I have dug through some of the most disgusting **** to find what I need. Always wear gloves, wash really well when you go home, and make sure you have had all your shots.
