The second Perry photo gives a slightly better look at the Tunnel Gulch tank bent bracing.  Looks to me as if there are only two pairs of big double diagonal braces between the two outer bents.  I don't see any going the other way except the small ones up at the top of the posts.  And it does look like there is a third post- or maybe an inner pair of posts- in the center bent.  Does that look right to you?

The Blackhawk tank doesn't have those small upper braces, but I think there might be a diagonal plank brace on the righthand side of the center bent.  Here's an enlargement of Jim's photo, I've added a double line parallel to  (to the right of) the feature I'm looking at:

 

What do you think?
