Default 140 speedo. GM or Repop?

I bought some Camaro parts and this speedometer was in the bundle. All the parts were good or NOS, but I'm not sure on this speedometer. It's either an old NOS 140 or an old never used Repop 140. Can anyone tell?

look at the position of the 130 mark as it relates to the corner of the mileage window....orig 130 mark is below the window, repop is above

But look at the inner hash marks vs. the 140 mark.

The needle is longer in the center (re-pop one) also.

I was noting the exact same thing as Enio w/ odometer box but in relation to the 10 Mph line.
The 10 & 130 marks are below the odo opening on the real example shown, above on both others seen here anyway.
Did GM produce more than one variation?

The position of 30 and 110 vs each other on the repro and the example in question are clocked the same. Approx the top of the two screws holding on the face.
I will say the number forms are and shapes are extremely good given the slightly out of focus picture.

Here are some of the things I picked out in addition to what has been mentioned.

On the real 140s you can see the numbers on the backside aluminum.
