Default Center Guage Cluster

I have a 1977 Corvette and decided that since I have the center instrument guage cluster off, I would replace all the bulbs. According to my owners manual and assembly manual (AIM), the cluster takes #194 bulbs, except the clock which takes #1895. Is this correct?

Number 1895 has a metal base but all my sockets look identical and would accept glass base bulbs only.

I just spent $24.00 on new bulbs and want to make sure this is correct?

They are all the same Larry including the clock which is 194 as well. The only odd bulb is the one that shines down on the heater control.
