The real difference is the triple trees, the V700 had a steeper angle(less rake, shorter wheelbase)..so, you can use an Amb or Eldo tank on a V700 but the V700 tank will not fit the others....

As quoted from Guzziology:
"... Although the V7 tank looks similar to the later tank of the later Loop-frame models, the later tank doesn't fit the V7. The late frame was extended just behind the steering head, making it possible for the wider tank to fit. It's possible to relieve the upper triple clamp and the instrument console to make clearance at some unknown reduction in the integrity the fork's structure...."
Hmmm... Interesting... I used to put a 750 tank on my '67 700 when I
wanted
a little more gas capacity. It worked find except I had to put some shims under the coil to lower it so it would clear the bottom of the tank.
