Is it likely to be from an F-100C if the inspection date is 1945?

In addition to Captn's note:
The serial number of the tank is the best proof for the a/c from which the part is. NAA marks all parts starting with the company serial: 192 is the NAA-serial for F-100A (check e.g. here ).
I'm not sure if the same tank was used in F-100C as well.
Cheers!

The data plate plainly says under "Model" that it's for a F-100C.

Where is the "1945" inspection date?
Its no where to be found in the pictures shown.
...also, are we sure "F100C" is the model of the airplane the tank was installed in?
As model designations go, that's kind of unusual.
I would think it is more likely NAA's model # for the tank itself.

The original poster stated that the last inspection date was 1945. Unless he's made a transcription error?

So he's quoting paperwork that came with the tank, not an inspection mark that was actually printed on the tank itself?

"the last inspection date is 1945." That's how I read it!

Yes, me too, but where is he getting that inspection date from?
Accompanying paperwork or is it printed on the tank somewhere?
This is what I'm asking, because I see no date stamp in any of those pictures he posted of the tank.
