Stripping down to fit new chassis on my '81 88" and noticed my fuel tank says made in Canada. Is this usual?

I don't know but it will probably last longer than one made in Britain.

Is it a military spec Land Rover? Got any NATO arrows on it?

No, it's not, as far as I know, but then, it's almost def not the original, right?

Dunno - it is quite a new Series isn't it?

Could be original. (I'm no expert)

Land Rover in the 1960s was famous for having stock from different suppliers - forgetting about it - finding it and then bolting it on what ever was on its way out of the factory. I imagine there was a similar working practice in the 1980s

Not an original type on series but looks like other aftermarket series tanks. The serial on the tank leads to a company who supply fuel tanks for boats!

Those clamshell type tanks were an extremely common after market tank. Widely fitted up to about twenty years ago. No idea why they stopped selling them.
