Mark,

Go for it if you can get a reasonable good scan. The relief from meter face
to dial looks to be about 1/8". What I'm offering to do is use that scan as
a background to work over. I will redraw everything over the scan. It may
turn out perfectly correct If the scanned proportions are right, and it is
not too fuzzy. Fuzziness means the letters bleed out too wide. Some of this
depends on the type of scanner you use.

If you wish, send me the file if you decide to do this, and I'll do my best
to get a clear background image to work over. This used to be my job so I
like doing this sort of thing from time to time.
