Re: Auillary tank capacity
Your tank.is an aftermarket. There were a number of companies that made these in a number of styles. Both singles (like the factory NL2) or in pairs. The end fills were the cleanest installation without hacking holes in the bedsides. Most ran between 17 and 19 gallons each.

Re: Auillary tank capacity
Doubt that any of the manufacturers are still around. Without a sticker or stamping the maufacturer will remain unknown. The sending unit is likely fairly common. Pull it out and clean it up. Might be repairable or at least identifiable. Most of the tanks were suspended by through bolts and located with a body flange or tabs. The factory used a similar system that was much more refined than most of the aftermarkets long bolts with nuts and washers. Here are a couple of pictures to help.
