There are pictures of both regos with 747 on the water tank, would suggest its movable amongst models, with N6962R currently equipped with that tank.

The tank is movable but normally stays with the same ac for the fire season.

Had a conversation with the crew from "Elvis" when based at the Bankstown Museum several years ago.
