im confuzzled.
back to what i was gonna say : maybe go look for the homecoming edition gauges if you want nice looking ones, they're off white faced and nice, Found mine on ebay for like $50.
When you do change your gauges, write your actual mileage down on the door sticker before you take the cluster out, since these cars store the mileage in the gauge set, not computer.

I think the main difference between them is that the odometer is analog in the 2ndGen and the 3rdGen is digital. Other than that they are pretty much the same

To tell the truth I have no idea what a 2nd and 3rd generation Saturn is. I do know however my 94 which as all analog gauges on the dashboard, the drive to them is digital. The conversion from a digital drive to an analog display is done on the dashboard itself.
While I have no way to prove this but if some one told me that the plugs all interchanged between my year and a newer one on the instrument panel than I would also pretty much have a tendency to believe the circuitry driving it would not have been changed as that would not have been really to cost effective for a model change and moving dash boards around between years probably would work.
My guess is if they fit?
They will work.
