This is an area of the microfiche that I've never dug into before,
but I can see it getting more attention over the next few weeks.

First - Stan is right.  Audi _did_ build some analogue dash ur-quattros
solely for Switzerland starting in 1988.  The analogue dash section of
the parts fiche contains the line:

F 85 J 900 001 ==>                         (CH)  S:704

It had its own looms, too - including 857 971 713 D "Loom for fully
electronic ignition with lambda control", and it had a unique Hall
sender.  It seems (but I'd like confirmation) to have used the WX
engine?
