Yup, early originals were very boxy. The body of the tank was a single
piece of sheet metal, bent and formed into a folded seam that only ran side
to side on the bottom. The two end panels were separate pieces, with seams
that ran all around the ends.

Early stock sending unit mounted from the top, to the right of the filler
neck. Roughly centered front to back, although ISTR it was a little closer
to the back.

Early tanks had nothing like that.
