Default What's this out of!

Hi all, A friend of mine has this fuel tank and has no info about it. Is there anyone that can identify it. I assume it is out of a armoured vehicle of some kind and it's about 3' high.
Colin.

Hi Colin, Is it possibly from one of the various Valentine marks.
They had a five gallon tank, connected to a 30 gallon tank. There was also a round external drop tank.
Is the guage british?
Are there any part numbers on the cap etc?
Just guessing.
