The Mk2 and Mk3 clusters are interchangeable with each other, but neither is compatible with the earlier cars with the Mk1 cluster. All 3 have 996 Carrera five gauge cluster counterparts that can be swapped in. Any cluster change will require programming to transfer over your mileage and VIN.

Yours is fixable, though.
Fixable? In what way, that it can easily be modified to have the correct mileage? So the Mk 1 clusters are the ones with the white, blue and black plugs like chuck mentioned?
