Those gauges with black-painted bezels are likely wartime service parts when nickel and chrome were strategic materials.
The ammeters originally used in non-North American '32 production often had slightly different dial faces depending on their manufacturing source, but were still of the +/- 20 amp variety.

An example of the gauge DavidG speaks of with the "Different" face NOT an example of the "late" gauge as DavidG has educated me on........AND an example of a previous poster in this thread of a "potential" out of balance needle.
