Sounds like you have an American model F Fordson with an Engligh model N fuel tank, this is not uncommon. In the mid to late 30's all the replacement parts came from england and if someone purchased a new fuel tank in 1938 you would have gotten a tank with the english tag in the back. Fordsons were made in ireland in the early 20's but i don't believe that any of these found thier way to the U.S., They were sold in europe.
The difference between the F and the N:
F:grey tractor, red wheels English N: blue tractor orange wheels. ( irish N 29-32 is grey )
F: buzz coil ignition N: magneto ignition
f: no governor N: has a governor
there are many other differences but those are the mose obvious.

I don't know how to explain the radiator sides. the Ladder radiator was phased out in march of 1919. I have seen some mid 1919 tractors that have the outline of the holes from the casting pattern being altered. but not partially recessed.

The F fordson never was factory equipped with a water pump. Many after-market companies made and sold them. they would mount between the engine and the radiator, under the radiator top tank.

hope this info helps,
ADAM
