Default Dual odometers??

I have a customer who owns a 57. There is an odometer in the face of the speedometer, as well as what appears to be another one, without the white 10ths of a mile increments, in the tach face.

Can someone tell me what the purpose of the second one is, if in fact it is another odometer?

Thanks

What Paul said.
ALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL 53-58 Corvettes (EXCEPT the 58 with the hi-rpm tach) had the rev counter in the tach.
Oh ya, the 57s with the column mounted tach didn't have a rev counter.
