That disposition being planned to avoid lateral and front/back tank mouvement during evolutions.
This is interesting cause it means that the anchoring devices on tank racks had the capacity to be put right in place in those fences whatever their positionning (since the two little pipes are in the same position on both tanks).
Well, that's what I see on those pictures. Someone to comment/confirm?

Hi Frank,
About the "mirror image" of the supports on the both tanks, is it possible that this can be a way to make difference with each
octane fuels ?
If the plane engine must use this grade of octane, you can't install this type ot tank because of the supports positions ? This is a "poka-yoke" for those who works in Industry.
Just an idea of a Sunday morning....
An other pic of the alloy tank tail : heavy canvas with thin cardboard painted in blue , which use ? maybe for aerodynamics ?
