Haha sorry, typo. I meant LHD

Unlikely, for 2 reasons.
1, it was always supposed to be the exact Transit model and spec they used in the Top Gear film. And 2, its quite a lot of work for what is a pretty minimal difference - that time could be better spent on more interesting things imo.

I completely understand. We have a 2001 transit, it is very similar to your model. Keep it up, it looks great !!

are the LCD numbers part of the texture or all inserted via digital_instruments.ini? I'd do via ini, looks better

You've just reminded me of something I've always wondered about: why do so many digital digits appear to float a good distance in front of their actual displays in some car mods? Lazy conversions, probably - but what causes it?
There's also the occasional issue where a speedo needle is sticking out like a sundial. I'm always scared of poking one of my eyes out under heavy braking in VR.

Shoddy workmanship! It’s very noticeable in VR.. Little time spent fixing can get them perfect,
it’s just a matter of moving them closer to the display. Although cars with those problems usually have many more problems too!

You need to do that, or else it will cause z-fighting on many tracks (the flickering between background and foreground texture). I never had an issue with the short distance, it doesn't draw shadows anyway. Not lazy but needed.
