Hurricane with tip tanks - 1940 - Battle of France?

Good night to all!
I found a very interesting picture on Ebay of an early Hurricane (it seems a Hurricane to me...although it could be a French Arsenal ) with a very strange silver tip tank under the right wing.
Have some of you (experts and writers) ever seen such tip tank? Was it an experimental tip tank or a current type used regularly?
This is the first time I do see such underwing tank on a 1940 machine. I have seen type tanks on Spitfires II, but never saw this kind of type tank (it seems similar to the tank used on Hurricanes Mark II B and C).
Any information about this machine and type tank would be welcomed.
All the best for all.
