Mine looks just like your’s so I think they came that way.

By the way, it would be easy to paint your speedometer needle. Take two pieces of 11x8-1/2” paper, cut a slit from one side to the center on both pieces, then slide the paper in under the needle from opposite sides so the slit on one paper is covered by the solid piece of the other. That is, unless you really love that color and that’s fine too!

You are missing a part though. The two pieces of chrome on the hub of the needle.
