Hey, don't worry about it...
Very few people know the vintage HKS stuff.

I think HKS kept the guts of the gauges, but changed the bezels and faces.
The DB series came out after all the funky font gauges.

My old HKS 60mm gauges looked like these.
That pic is actually of the first line of electronic peak / hold gauges that were the distinctive orange graphics.
Prior to that, the HKS gauges were all white graphics, and I don't believe there were any peak / hold type.
Those gauges predate the one posted by the OP.

Side note, if you're lucky, the part number should still be taped onto the gauge body itself.
HKS used silver foil tape that had black stamped alpha numeric that all gauges should have.
Most times this label is still on the gauge, unless someone peeled it off on purpose.
