Welcome to R2R Steve. They certainly do not look structural to me. Be sure to start a build thread with lots of pics!

Welcome!!! It is Euro braced, that is where you are getting your structural support. Those look to be cobbled together by the previous owner.

Welcome, sorry I am just a bit late saying hi.

The tank looks like it may have some diy going on, not that it is a bad thing. The bottom has a standard frame. The top has a few different cross braces. I would check what is holding the gray trim on first before removing it unless you already have. Should be fine if the prior owner had it filled

Keep them pics coming
