Welcome to the forum.
Can't help you with the tanks, you might try posting in the Classic area.

Call Mike at American Pickers. He'll not only identify them for you, but he'll pay you crazy kinds of money for them.

Someone didn't have their coffee this morning. It's showing 2 different tanks because there are 2 different tanks. The one piece tank looks to be some 80's aftermarket tank for something, maybe a sportster? It's just a guess but the other split tank looks to be 50's panhead tanks.

They are aftermarket tanks for shovel's or pans , pretty generic and they have been worked over a few times as in repaired and beat in to fit you can tell by the insides of the tanks and the thickness & size of the mounting tabs on them and as Old96 said they are not a matched set you got the odd tanks . Safe bet one will be a leaker so pressure check them if you plan to use them otherwise they are worth maybe $50 -$60 at a swapmeet to anyone who knows .

The one piece is also aftermarket looks to be early evo custom of some kind the add on wings around the seat area was popular in the mid 90's , again worth what somebody might want to pay . Hope this helps
