Meter reads the output of the battery switch and that means what ever battery is selected. My 1989 has two voltmeters and the both read the same. If I run one battery they both read that one. They are not set up to read the battery associated with the engine on that side.
I added fuel pressure , oil temp and water pressure

You can tell by turning one ignition on and reading the volt meter(engine not running) now start the other engine and watch both volt meters...they will both charge
.Now shut iff the one that's running and both meters will drop
