What's so special about the instruments with the Silver buttons and how are they mechanically different from 'normal' red hand ones?

Also, why is the High Beam indicator on both the Spedo and Tach? On the gas guage the only difference I can see is that the "B" insigna is offset from center on the Silver button one. Is that all?
