I am sketching 9Fs.... I have drawn a BR1C tender and I am drawing a BR1F tender, but is the BR1F tender longer?

 

I believe that the BR1F tender is the one that's "maxed out" regarding coal (7 tons) and water capacity at 5625 gallons, hence the tender sides followed rolling stock profiles and didn't have the cut out others had.  The BR1E and J tenders had a larger coal capacity at 10 tons but smaller water capacity.  I think the BR1F was used on routes where there were fewer water stops, I hope that makes sense?  I think the tender wheelbase remained the same for all BR tenders.
