There is a little plastic gear in the transmission/transfer case
where the speedometer cable attaches. The end of the cable goes
in this gear. Speedo shops change this gear to re-calibrate speedometers
whenever people change their axle ratios or tire size. Your gear
or speedometer cable end might be worn slightly causing the slow
reading, though usually that results in a jumpy speedo needle.
I will look at the breakdown when I get home to see if I can
find the gear.

The tires are the correct size I am fairly sure. So the speedometers
are
standard and the gears in the transmission are different for
each type of
vehicle?

That doesn't make sense. The little gear for the speedo is usually
in the
transmission. The speedo's should be interchangable between M
series?? Are
your tires oversize?
