1968 Indy 500 Lotus Gas Turbine Pressure Gauge

Classic Team Lotus is restoring Graham Hill’s 1968 Indy 500 Lotus racing car, powered by a Pratt & Whitney ST6. The gauges were as appropriate for the ST6. We need to source the 0 to 100 Pressure Gauge. We do not know the manufacturer. The other gauges are Kollsman and Weston. We are very keen to present the car exactly as per race day and this is the only missing piece.

Looks like a Smiths Industries label to me.

The size, typeface and shape of the needle makes me think it’s Bendix/Pioneer gauge.
