Hello all, I thought I'd just chime in here and rule out the Vickers Tank. The first photo is off a carrier tank I have but I'm sure it's just a replacement off an old truck radiator of fuel tank and the next two are on my Vickers and interestingly one is the rear fuel cap and the other is the oil but are basically the same.

The Vickers type are the same design as the early and MK1 carrier, commonality of design makes sense. Unusual for a British design (said only half jokingly)

The more common cap was a commercial cap used on all sorts of things, not just vehicles.

Later simplified fuel tank with what may be an original cap.

Also looks similar to the M135 radiator cap.

And to round out the Bren carrier caps here are the caps from the British carrier fuel tanks, that don't have the vent tubes.
