Default Question on gas tank compatibility

I'm piecing together a tin set for my Night Train and noticed that the tank I'm looking at has a different shape at the rear, almost like an extended or wrap around tank. Seller says it's for a 07-10 Softail and it's a genuine HD tank so I'm just trying to make sure it's not for a Deuce or something.

Style I have:


Style I'm looking at buying.

I'll take it that nobody knows but I bought it anyway, sitting at a bar and browsing ebay is dangerous. I was willing to take a gamble since I love this NOS tank and I'm so glad I did, just arrived today. I bought it knowing there was a little surface rust on the inside from storage so hopefully a little vinegar will help clean it up. Didn't get it in the photo but it's got the bar and shield logo on the right side but no # out of # for the set, seller said it was from the "Radical" paint set.

On the surface, the tank looks stretched. Which may account for the differences. But without seeing it in person, it’s hard to say if it would fit.
