No they don't have the mounting lugs fitted and the exit port is not quite right.... So not standard

I still think they're originals, they've cut the mountings off, and done a bafflectomy, painted them black and stuck on the vinyl wrap and decals. not my cuppa tea.

The little screw where the link pipe meets the can body isn't original, so I don't think that these are original ones bodged up.
It's not falling off, it's an upgrade opportunity.

My 2 pence worth :)
They look like modified standard cans to me, with the mounting brackets removed as Al mentions. I'm not 100% sure on the original length though, it could just be the angle the photo's have been taken, but they appear to look shorter IMHO,

Yeh I think he does, look at the colour and it does not have the Spigot which can be a bugger to find. The Diaphragm along with hoses and a float is not so difficult to find. That's a bargain for someone, it's brand new 8O
