P51s were built to be used in the European theatre with Rolls-Royce engines.
That could be the reason for the Celsius gauges.

Roger,
Thank you for your message.
Yes the temps in question were said to be F, but as they did
not seem to
make sense, the possibility of a unit confusion came to my mind.
Re the tip on conversion, as European flyers, we are used to convert
when dealing with engines from across the pond (though we usuallly do
convert from F to C).
Funnily, in P51 field manuals, the engine temps were in
Celsius during WWII.
Best regards,

Noel,
P-51 crews were mainly from the the US, Britain and its "colonies", the
only nations in the world using Fahrenheit. After the war, they forgot
about their good dispositions...Funny.
