Vac Tank Reservoir/Orb of Power Question

Are all tanks (that are located below the vap canister tray) bolted to the black plastic baffle or are some bolted to the tray itself? In looking at my tank, I see that it has two mounting legs. Do any OE's have a single leg (I've seen some from auto parts stores that do)?

If anyone could take a peek, I'd very much appreciate his effort.

All of mine had two legs

Older cars use a tube style canister above the brake booster, pretty sure they use two mounts as well

Do you recall if the tank mounts to the black plastic baffle below the vap canister tray (as mine does) or if it mounts to the vap canister tray itself?

To the tray via 10mm coarse thread bolts. There are holes on both sides so mount it where you have room
