A question regarding 20th AE Gauges?

Are they any different in color than the regular 2000 2001 Maxima SE Gauges? I ask because I have a choice between buying a AE speedometer with more miles (160,000 miles) an subsequently I imagine wear versus a regular SE that has 40,381 miles and is $20 cheaper. Everything I read is that AE's have a titanium face but regular SEs from those years already have a silver/grey face so when they say titanium is it a goldish hue like I normally associate with the name titanium. If anyone has ever seen both gauges please chime in I am looking to make the purchase very soon and I would like to know if I should just save my money. Thanks to anyone in advance for their time taken to reply.

As far as I know, all 5th gen SE gauges are the same.

You can swap the memory chips that hold the mileage though, fairly basic solder job.

Thanks for the picture it pretty much looks the same as a 2000 SE Gauge cluster.

No it is the same as the one in the picture. The 02 -03 SE has the black side gauges.
