If yours is leaking at the hinge, it’s steel. The one you posted a link to is plastic (S4RS)’ which poses two potential problems:
Your fuel pump/filter assembly is different and won’t fit the new tank, you’ll need a new flange/pump assembly.
Also, since it’s a plastic tank it may have suffered from swelling due to ethanol in fuel (I’m suspicious of a ‘rare’ part being dold at less than half the new price.
Plus once you’ve added potential import duty/tax, brazing looks like quite a good option.
