Yeah, they didn't have them as virtually all came with the second tank.
The second tank was a delete option, so maybe those few vehicles had one, but certainly wouldn't be common.
Might have to adapt one from a 45/47/60/80 series LandCruiser. The first of the 100series used a wire instead of chain and they broke - unless it was replaced under warranty.

I drove a few 75 series miners without a rear tank and I seem to remember even they had the spare in the tray. I have seen them on 78s without rear tanks - but
yea probably pretty rare

Might not be so simple, I' think' the 75's with the rear tank had an extra or different crossmember to mount the tank from at the front so a wheel/tyre may not fit. there is also an extra crossmember behind the tank to take the rear mount. You may have to cut one or either and fabricate the necessary crossmember to carry the winch.
On a truck with the rear tank the two crossmembers are welded in.
There were also differences in the rear/back chassis and any tow bars if fitted.
