Default Softail Springer Classic tank?

Im new to this site and i just want to say there is some awesome stuff on here, its been great reading through it all. I have a question though, i was watching the new indiana jones film the other day (i know some people have issues with the bike in that because of the period incorrect brakes etc so i apologise) and i cant work out where the gas tank on the bike is from. it doesn't look to be from an older harley so is it custom or was it taken from another model or even make of bike?
