To distinguish the "lighter" duty Scouts, Pickups and Travelalls from the
bigger "heavier" duty industrial line of trucks.

19 gallons is stock.  An optional 33 gallon tank was (still is) available
aftermarket and was once installed by some IH dealers special order.

Could be, but more likely you have a rotten or loose rubber filler coupler
which connects the filler pipe to the tank.  Look around under the truck on
the filler neck side and see if you can see stains where the fuel was
running out.  It might be that all you need do is tighten some loose worm
clamps.

Good luck,
