ther are two types of drive cable for them, electric and non, as long as its the right type it should be fine, just a straight swap if the speedo dials the same. And as for the milage u can clock it legally, if not u just gotta tell ppl in future bout the change!! take pics of the two clocks together for a bit of proof if u wanna

I also have a 1.4 M reg Corsa LS and I currently have a set of SRI clocks in mine. They are cable driven (older type). This type came in all pre-97 corsa's (sri's and GSI's)
If you want to check which type you have, take the clocks out (using haynes guide etc). If they are electronic, they will just have the plug at the bottom of the clocks. If they are cable driven, they will have the plug AND a thick cable goin into them behind the speedo Although im fairly sure yours will be cable driven as mine were.
My M reg LS already had the wiring in place for a rev counter so i just plugged in and away, but it might be worth plugging in the plug (at the bottom, dont worry about the cable for now) and just starting the engine to make sure the revs register (should be around 1000) before you screw everything back in
