PETROL TANK SIZE IN MK1 CAPRI ????

I'm getting conflicting info from my 3 Genuine FoMoCo Books (Shop Manual, V6 Maintenance, and V6 Owners Booklets)
 
2 of them say Fuel Tank is 10.5 gallon and one says 13.5 gallon ??
 
Is this a typo or was Mk1 produced with 2 sizes ?? (10.5g for 4 cyl and 13.5g for V6 ??)
 
Can anyone shed some light please ?

    The 4 cylinder ( 1600 cc)  has always been a smaller capacity tank than those fitted to the  6 cylinder ( V6)  models

    Yes, gtcapri is right, all 1600 Australian Capris used the smaller sized fuel tank, whereas the V6 used the larger 61 litre tank.

    Current ride:
    '83 Mk.3 Capri, 2.8i, 5-spd
