Yes that is true. The 98.5-00 cluster is slightly different than a 98 SVT cluster.
Me and my friend tried swapping clusters when we installed our indiglo overlays and his 98.5 cluster would not work correctly in my car.
If I remember, the gas gauge did not work and tach did not work. Also the ABS light and e-brake light are in opposite spots on the clusters so they did not light up how they were supposed to light because the way the wires feed into the cluster.
Bottom line:
98 SVT cluster will only work with a 98.
98.5-00 SVT cluster will only work with a 98.5-00.
So what you should be looking for is a 98 SVT cluster for your Tour.
