I think the rear shock might be a Sachs.
Ohlins don't usually miss an opportunity to label thier products very clearly.

My "S" came with Ohlins at the rear, complete with remote resevior but that doesn't mean that your shock is wrong as there are clearly some spec differences on the S models over the years.

You seem to have an ally swinging arm. which not all 900s have.

The red dash is after market as you've probably guessed,so it would be interesting to know if the tacho was original fitment or added at the same time as the dash...Nice clean clocks though.

Compare your bike to this other '97 bike with a similar front end, possibly an S but definatly making your bike bike look like a much better proposition..!!
