i may be wrong but the original rear tub tubes were there to support an ali rear tub which isn,t needed for a GRP tub, personally i think that the way Mark has done his rear brace bars offers a stronger anchorage/triangulated point for the roll bar strength.
Then again there is nothing to stop a builder adding some additional 25mm box tubes to create a fuel tank protection cage which could possibly be attached to the diff cage.

ps, in my opinion of course
