It's just an ordinary aussie VDO 60-67 Beetle speedo, its just got one of the KM/H overlays fitted.
The build date will be stamped into the back of it.

It's not a sticker, they would have had to open speedo up to change face. Would this be the case?

Not a sticker or complete face but a metal ring with the KHP printing on it laid over the top of the OE MPH face.

Thanks again.

I fitted quite a few of the stickers to the inside dial over the years,they looked good as long as you cleaned the face up and lined it up but I have
seen a lot of the stickers on the glass.
