That gauge cluster has the push button for the starter. Similar as to what was mine originally (65). I think all previous years were the same.
It's got the push on blade connectors on the gauges, and the headlight switch has a plastic connector. Maybe '67 but I think that style headlight switch didn't come out until '68.
Beyond any hope for intervention

Another indicator of year is the speedometer. If it were early years, it would have a female connection versus a male connector that the cable attached to.
