Hello lads (and ladies)
I'm on the lookout for one of these tanks to go on a B33 dirt tracker project of mine, the tank does not have to be perfect, in fact I'd probably rather salvage a damaged one off someone if possible.

I bought my straight as a dye B44 tank for $100 on eBay a year or so ago. Yes...I was lucky. :D
Have you considered a fibreglass replica? I bought one for $30 and had it ethanol coated and it looks cool.
Here's a B50T tank that's close but not exactly what you want

Here's a proper Lyta BSA B44 tank that appears to have has a fight with a ball peen hammer.

Here's a 'glass universal tank that might look OK. It's cheap enough.

I'm still studying so the budget doesn't stretch far enough to permit a new tank, as I said ideally something a bit beat up would be ideal as it'll have to have some slight modifications to fit anyhow, i do have an old A65 Hornet fibreglass tank but it just doesn't sit right on the frame, they're too long in the bottom, the Victor tank has a similar shape but is a bit shorter so should look much neater. I'll keep my eye on eBay, i have seen quite a few in the US but shipping is usually around $70 for something as big as a tank. nick :P

I thought the same Jim but in what must have been a freak week I got a genuine B44 alloy tank with only one or two little dings for $100us and a B50T tank with zero dings for $120. Both tanks cost around $60 to ship. You have to know what you're looking for and be 'Johnny on the spot' when they come up.
