Arturo, I don't believe there is any difference between T,E and S gauges you are inquiring about for your 72E. If I'm incorrect someone here will correct me. Any 1969-1973 will work and look correct, only the tachometer would be different. I just sold a very nice OP/OT (druck) for $90 USD. I would expect OL/GL to be in the same price range give or take $50 given condition. Post a WTB on the forum here.
No,,, 69' gauges mount with a retainer, from 70' into 72' the lettering is yellowed,, afterwards a transition of the lettering becomes white.. in mid 73' there are minor alterations again..
T gauges are very basic or just a waning lamp or sometimes only a blank added into a multi gauge .. obviously tach gauges vary between models designations, then there are the euro gauges, mainly differing are the speedo and temp/pressure and another oddball was the unique sporto gauge. If you dont care or not picky,, they will all work but with certain gauges you will have to match them with approriate senders.
Is there are source ?,,, swaps, parts cars, magazines, dismantlers, certain web sites, this website and .....ebay..
Personally I dont like reskined gauges. Nothing beats OG and lastly, there is no set price, just what you are willing to agree upon and how much you need it to set your car correctly.

Thanks both.
Did not know there were differences between 72 and 73 gauges.
Robert; are you sure about the 72 - 73 conversion from "yellow" to white? I have seen both 69 and 70 with paper white marks and numbers but also faded "yellow" examples. I thought it was either different paints being used or the sun had faded the paper white to "yellowish"?
