The fuel tank on the T112 carryall and Panel is the same, but the closed cab is different. The tank on the Carryall runs back down the LH chassis leg till about the front of the rear wheelarch, with the extreme front being the filler location. Perhaps the closed cab used a different configuration, or they didn't want something protruding under the telephone body ?
Obviously the transfer case and handbrake setup on the 4 x 4 meant that this tank location wouldn't do, so a fule filler behind the driver door would have to be '39 pattern civilian, and with the 41xx body code a t112 is on target.
