A lot of people think the fender tanks started on the 1750 on up, but I have a Cockshutt catalog with a 1650 on the front cover with them, so, theoretically, it's possible that even a 1550 could have them. Dsl's Quick Checkerboard Identity At a Glance: Tapered model placards on the side; 1600 Series B, 1800 Series B & C, 1900 Series B, 1550, 1650, 1750, 1850, 1950, 1950-T, 2050, & 2150. No placards: 'A' Series 1600, 1800, & 1900. Single headlights makes it a 1600, dual headlights and single air cleaner make it an 1800, dual air cleaners and dual headlights makes it a 1900. More on headlights in the fenders; generally, duals for 1750, 1800, 1850, 1900, 1950-T, 2050, & 2150, and singles for 1550, 1600, & 1650. Look for dual side by side air cleaners; 1900B or 1950, two inline air cleaners; 1950-T, excepting very late models. Heavy, low-slung tractor with a straight front axle(you didn't say FWA); 2050/2150. Using the above references, you can closely identify an Oliver halfway across a field. The fact that this is a fender tank tractor would rule out 1600, 1800, & 1900 for original equipment, but they could have been retro-fitted.
