Here are some images (sorry about the lighting):

Note that the passenger side tank is a slightly differnt shape with a bottom that slopes toward the centre lin of the vehicle. That tank protrudes 2-3 cm below the chassis rail but is well above the crossmember at this point. I presume this difference in shape accounts for the extra 5 litres this tank holds.

Just fitted the front runner 45l tank to my Puma 110. I did it over two 1/2 days as I had to stop a few times to prevent spanners being thrown through the garage window and other things being smashed in frustration - cold beer helped calm the nerves a little.
Balance line is volnerable and have not worked out a god solution yet. I had a leak through the threads on the tank balance fitting - this was fixed by wrapping white thread tape on it and re-installing - no more leakes here now.
The tank breather which sits on top of the main tank now leaks slightly - I will have to extend this to behind the LHS tail lights or similar higher location.
I have found that the tank just clashes with the inside of the wheel arch. I have put a small piece of pinch lock rubber to stop the stainless steel and body aluminium from rubbing. After much shoveing and pushing, I could not get the fit any better without the reverting to some serious surgery - I sure there is a way though but perhaps my tank is a bit out of spec geometrically. Its in now and thats that in order for me to keep some sanity!
For the rear cross member, I installed M8 rivnuts X 3 off in place of the kit issue M6 ones. I had to drill out the hex holes slightly bigger to accept the rivnuts. Rivnuts were installed useing a bit of flat bar and a high tensile nut/bolt arangement as i do not have the proper tool - it worked out well.
