Cruise control works again after speedo swap. Thoughts? 200 1989

After using a '87 K10042 speedo in my '89 244 for about a year, I put my original back in after repairing it (needle, gears, face). During the timeframe of using the '87 unit, my cruise control stopped working. I had my first opportunity to test out the cruise again. Needless to say, it worked great.

When was the first year that the 1981+ 240's had the option for cruise control?

It wouldn't make any sense if Volvo decided to stick a different speedohead in a car that didn't have cruise control. But if the option wasn't available until 1988 or later, than perhaps this assumption is true based on my experience?

FYI, the '87 speedo worked great but the odometer didn't. If CC was available in '86+ then it's gotta either be something wrong in the '87 speedohead or it's somehow tied into the odometer (nah...)??

Thoughts??
