The speedometer face changed between 1989 and 1990

1988-1989

1990-1991

The 1989 and 1991

I think there was also a change to the steering column (?), either at the same time as the speedo change or it was '91 specific.

Not the greatest pics, just some I had saved. P72 owners can post your speedo pics here!

Steam, you're right about the steering wheel changing. But it wasn't just the wheel and the speedo -- the entire dash changed in 1990.

'88-'89:

'90-'91:

There were also two different styles of door panels...

Non-BB2K style (in an '88):

BB2K-style (in a '91):

I've seen the second style in '88-'89 as well as '90-'91 (my '89 had them), but I think I've only seen the first style in '88-'89.

One oddity I've noticed is that at least some '88 P72s don't have the trim along the base of the C-pillar:
