From what I've read/heard the "tanker" designation is a misnomer. IIRC the T26 "tanker" was for jungle troops but due to wood on the stock swelling in the jungle environment made the T26 unreliable so it was never issued. The "tanker" nickname came after the war in an attempt to sell them to the general public.
