Default 55 Ranchwagon fuel tank question - rhd

I have recently bought a 55 Ranch, is is an NZ delivered factory RHD.
I am wondering if the fuel tanks in the wagon's are any different to other body styles?
Thanks

Yes, the wagons had a different fuel tank than the sedans, hardtops and convertibles. I can't think of a reason a RHD wagon would have a different tank than the LHD wagons.

They are all reproduced.

There is a new one on Ebay right now. I believe the price is incorrect. https://www.ebay.com/itm/23076826654...SABEgLeOfD_BwE Should be $349.00 US not $3490.00 US. Includes shipping but obviously not down under. I have one out of a LHD '54 Ranch Wagon which I believe is the same tank as a '55 but not positive on a RHD model. I can send some measurements/photos if that would help.

Thanks, I assume rhd vs' lhd should be no different, but there is lots I don't know.
The tank i have is ok, but the car has an efi windsor & the pump set up needs attention.
Just having a think

I've checked my chassis parts book and the `55 & `56 wagon's are the same. If the rhd was different, it would be listed. Like scicala said, I can't think of a reason a RHD wagon would have a different tank than the LHD wagons..
