The way the fittings always seem to turn in the sheet metal if you do not hold the tank side when the plug has rusted to the fitting, I don't think they were fastened with any filler substance such as braze or solder. More likely a press in type fitting with a flange on the inside that is tightly pressed or crimped over the sheet metal.

This photo Ross took of the tank inside looks to me like a crimped over edge.
