I think the LeMay Museum later corrected this one, because there are pictures of 63R1001's engine with the expansion tank's cap on the passenger's side.  I suspect that none was made by Studebaker with the cap on the driver's side.  Probably many of these expansion tanks have been opened up (due to a leak) and re-soldered backwards by mistake. 

My Avanti R5255 has a beautifully redone expansion tank.  The radiator cap was indeed soldered on backwards by the shop, but the then owner of the car made them reverse it.

I had one repaired about 20 years ago. He soldered the water inlet backward. Did not notice until 5 years ago when I had trouble replacing upper hose. Fixed it then
