[C320-list] Indicators on Steering Pedestal Instruments Panel ('94 Cat 320)

I have a white indicator lamp and another with a red lens on the lower right side of my instruments panel (Perkins Perama M30 engine).  The white light comes on when I turn my key on (and stays on while I allow my glo plugs to warm), then turns off (usually) when the engine starts. The white lamp stayed lit dimly once recently until I increased the engine rpms, then went out.  Is this lamp an indicator that charging (from the alternator) is occurring (indicated by the lamp going out?)? 

The indicator with the red lens is for low oil pressure.....correct? 

I don't seem to have alarms (temp and oil pressure) that sound when the key is turned on and/or when there is a problem.  Am I missing something?

This boat is new to us and these items are not detailed anywhere for reference.

Thanks,
