The white wires are usually ignition/power supply to the cluster.
The below image is from a later model. Hope it helps.
I also have the Haynes version in the garage which I can take a photo of in the morning if you like.

Don't the white wires run through the tacho? 12V from the ignition switch through the tacho then to the coil +. |

There are two different types of Tachos on Australian Mini. Early one is the Loop type and later type senses from the neg side of coil.\ |

Thanks CM Unfortunately, my brain has a lot of trouble when it comes to electrics so sorry if it's a bit of a 'duh' question but assuming the pod is a later style ('76) and I have two white wires on the harness, where exactly do I connect them? Eiles |

Eiles I had a 77 Leyland with a 3 gauge cluster. Here is a photo of the 2 white wires going to the tacho.
