The top photo with the 8500 redline is the correct one.

Dark green face speedo with trip meter stem on left side is correct. Dark green face tach with 8500 redline is correct. Both pieces on the bottom set are not correct. I have a NOS set in boxes if you'd like to see a pic.  
As of today 3/13/2012 my original owner 75 CB750F has made it through 3 wives, er EX-wives. Free at last.  ;-)

The only 75 750F I have seen had blueish faces. I know the 76F1 has light green, but have never been sure of the 75F

They are not blue. Mine's been dark green since it was new. My NOS is definitely dark green too. Perhaps the blueish color comes from fading.
