My T-176 does have a nozzle hanger that is bolted to one of the eight bolts that thread into the cylinder base. The hanger is about 6 inches long and 1 inch wide, and has what appears to me to be a factory bent horseshoe so it fits neatly over the top rib of the pump side(skin). On mine it is bolted on the back side, but it could just as easily be bolted on the side with the door and the ID/UL plates.
I believe my T-176 is the same as when it left the G&B factory; it was never rebranded and still had remnants of the factory paint (yellow w/black trim) when I got it. There were no holes in the skins where another type of nozzle hanger might have been. Mine may be an early version of the T-176 as it has the short door; a dating clue is the patent date in the glass cylinder is January, 1919.
