Probably a dealer replacing the hood to non tach to make a sale or the hood was replaced without the tach later on. The tach harness can be removed easily in less than 5 minutes with no obvious signs of one being there. One lead to the wiper motor and one to the distributor.
For originality purposes, if that is your concern....unless you have supporting docs from dealer showing they replaced hood, your car without the tach is incorrect.
For all intents and purposes, PHS trumps.
