I have 5 Authentic German Instruments circa WWII. Not sure what all of them are for, but do know 1 Airspeed to 400 KPH , one altimeter. 1 rate of climb, and the others are dual arrows .....KG/CM2 whatever that is.
I'm not smart enough to post pictures of them on here, but can send them to you via e-mail; if interested.

If you post the Fl numbers off the back, they can be cross referenced to possible application. Should be : Andforderz. Fl XXXXX

Tach FI20286 500-3600 rpm made by Deuta (Deutches Tachometerwerke) made in -1,-2 and -3. 1941 and before
Airspeed FI22233 40-450kmh made by Bruhne RLM standard Fi-156 and trainers
Altimeter FI22320 0-10 km made by R. Fuess RLM standard
Kg/cm FI20514 3" dial -2 made by Eckhard - used in Ju88, and RLM standard, -3 made by Maximall RLM standard
Kg/cm FI20512-1 2" dial made by Maximall early and late variations same '-' number. Early has square range markings, late has triangual RLM standard

The last two are multiple pressure gauges for oil and fuel pressure


All of them are RLM standard (like AN) none are distinctive enough to be sure of application.
Sometimes you can be fairly sure. Focke Wulf for example used electric gyros and electric senders for as many things as they could
