During alternate mode overspeed protection is provided, overboost not if the thrust levers are firewalled, thus the lack of the amber mark.
I think the amber line (maximum) is still displayed on the N1 dial, the difference is that the EEC will allow you to exceed it. I assume this is because you don’t want thrust limited to a lower than necessary value if the rated thrust calculation has gone wrong.
