8-0-8 and 12-0-12 centre zero ammeters were regularly used on 6v motorcycles certainly from early '30s to even the '70s.I have 8-0-8 versions on two of my bikes, a 1935 New Imperial, and a 1954 Velocette.
I think the one shown by OP would be off a tractor or bulldozer. They usually had limited equipment, lights and maybe a heater, and running usually 12v, 9 amps would be plenty.
