The ribbed version of the standard cluster was 70 Challenger.
Besides the different bezels, the gauges have different markings too.
Ever considered doing a gasket+insulator+anti-rattle kit for e-body Rallye gauge clusters?

The black felt washers I have from an original cluster are:
0.650" OD x 0.280" ID x 0.100" thick
They get sandwiched between the plastic bezel and the steel mounting plate backer for the woodgrain inlay. It looks like there was a tape like adhesive used on one side to hold them in place as well.
This would apply to 70-71 Rallye gauge clusters for e-bodies. Not sure if they were used elsewhere.
The OD cannot exceed 0.675". If it does it will overhang the pocket in the plastic bezel.
The ID cannot exceed 0.340". If it does the washers won't serve their purpose.
PCG was selling them as a pair for $5.00. Sadly, that is no longer an option anymore.
I've googled around and have not found a satisfactory off the shelf replacement (looked at felt washers used for brass musical instruments). I'll make these. I'll order the material tonight
