So maybe Riverview should be classed as a "One Bent / Two Pier Tank"

Jim,

there is no framed timber bent support visible in either iteration of the Tank, I'd be thinking that two concrete supports with a third (missing) timber mudsill at the rear was most likely.  Notice the large protruding rocks to the East have disappeared over time, yet the rocks supporting the poured foundation still remain, thus indicating that the Tank was well supported without a framed Bent out front.
