The 2 shiny ones below are 62-65 NOS tanks. Note that one has a notch in front mount bracket. A mistake?
The chrome one is also 62-65.
The 4-fitting tank is 58-61. It has the full rear weldment.
Note the bent supply fitting on the chrome tank. It's like this because of overtightening the drain plug.
