No, it's the two air gauges seen to the right of the steam gauge. The engineer has to look way to the left to find them.

Any guesses on why they mounted them there?

The only reason I can think of is that position might have made the guages visible in daylight, eliminating the need to run the dynamo.... but I'm just guessing.
