I have seen a Vitesse with the tank at an ABFM event in Vancouver BC and
thought that the Herald might have also had it since it is from the same
lineage. But I have never seen one and thinking about the single carb it
would not have the platform to support the tank the way a dual carb setup
would.

Early Vitesse 6 (Sports 6) 1600cc engines with the odd semi-downdraft
Solexes also used that expansion tank. Heralds didn't, unless someone
"borrowed" an
early Spitfire engine and radiator to essentially replicate the twin-carb
option.
