No, the angle the filler goes in differs between cars.
I think the traveller is uniquely steep, but may well be wrong.

As far as I know - Saloon and Traveller use the same tank.......... I believe LCVs have different angle filler pipe. I'm not sure there are any new tanks available at the moment ?

There are 5 gall for the earlier cars and 6.5 gall for the later cars plus 9.5 gall specials. The cars and travellers use the same tanks just the flexible hoses are different
