Yup, the tank I got from Chin has the overflow on the end (external actually). Depends on how the tank is situated. I mainly look at one side and the front of the tank anyways. It has a mod Herbie drain.

The tank that busted had a single large corner overflow box with dual 1" drains using a durso system. Roughly 12" x 6" x 6". Worked well before the front pane broke. Had to keep the tank about 5" to 6" off the wall though to accommodate the plumbing in the back.
