Looking on the Ford parts catalogue.
The 32 litre side sender tank was used on Mk1 XR2 from 1.10.1981, to
31.08.1983 and non Mk1 and Mk2 Fiestas until 1986
The Finis code for this seal is 1492183
The 40 litre top sender tank was used on Mk1 XR2 from 31.08.1983 and all Mk2
XR2, and non XR2 Mk2 Fiestas after 1986 , the seal for this tank is Finis
code 1549720
These are the only 2 seals listed.
It looks like there were at least 3 different filler pipes, a metal one for
the 34L tank, a metal one for the 40L tank on pre 1986 cars and the plastic
one for the 40L tank on all the later cars.
You can see all the details on a online version of the Ford

You might need to join those lines together.

Subject: Re: [Quantum Owners] Fuel tank grommet/seal
Several folks have stated MK1 & MK2 filler neck seals are the same but from
what I have found this is not always the case.
One complete tank & filler pipe I have is an earlier side mounted sender
type - the seal on that one takes Ford mm metal filler pipe.
The other tank I have in saloon is a later top mounted sender type - the
seal on that one also takes a 50mm filler pipe.
However the aperture diameter on these tanks where filler seal fits is
completely different - the later tank is much bigger.
So far I have found and tried 2 different Fiesta seals listed by suppliers.
The first one supplied would be the correct one for the early type tank.
The second one supplied is bigger OD but is not correct for my later tank
(it takes a pipe approx 55mm diameter but fits in a smaller diameter tank
aperture than aperture in my tank) . I think this type is for tanks using
later plastic filler pipe
So there are at least 2 types of standard Fiesta tank seal and so far I have
not managed to find a seal which fits my later tank aperture - this implies
my later tank is either non standard or there was at least one other type of
seal used at some point in production.
My old seal is rock hard but otherwise decent condition so I hope to get a
reproduction made using it as template. If that fails it looks like I would
need to change tank and modify filler to a setup for which seals are
available ;-(

When I changed mine I discovered the seals for MK1 and MK2 are the same part
but with different part numbers.
My filler neck was made wider with a short length of metal tube where it
goes into the tank. Then the filler neck went inside with a short section of
flexible hose attached.

Subject: [Quantum Owners] Fuel tank grommet/seal
On my saloon I need to replace the grommet/seal (where filler pipe enters)
on my MK2 tank (40l top sender type) as it has gone really hard with age.
But I am struggling to find a correct replacement seal. My filler pipe is
the metal type 50mm diameter. The aperture in the tank where seal fits is
approx 61mm inside diameter.
I have found seals to fit 50mm pipe but they are much smaller tank fitting
diameter - these match the seal on an old earlier type tank (side sender) II
have in garage.
So does anyone happen to know if the seal I need is a Fiesta part or was it
sourced from another car?
