Yes, the long edges (fore & aft) are radiused with a fairly large radius.  The tank is an OEM Monel 30 gal tank.  It (and the waterlift muffler) were built by the "Cambridge Welded Tank Co, Cambridge, MA".  I havent found any surviving trace of this company.

FWIW, I was working on the engine and managed to look at the tag on the fuels tank.  Despite it's appearance - sure looks like steel -  it is also aluminium (photo attached). As previously mentioned, Florida Marine Tanks.

Makes sense - Selene has almost no options (fiberglass sole, single air vent...)
