Re: 1951 gas tanks

51 Packard, Here are photos taken by Packard V8 of what I believe is the tank used from a 52-6. I believe I was able to read his measurements and copy them correctly but if not, perhaps you can. The tank is almost square at roughly 25 1/2" and I read it to be almost 9" deep.
I would be curious if there is a difference in measurement or shape or if the 51 tank was mounted in some different way so the straps are not in the same spots the later tanks used. Is the fill pipe in the same location and If the tank is a smaller capacity, is it the height that is different or one of the other measurements.
