Questions about SP 0-6-0 Switchers

Several questions about Southern Pacific's 0-6-0 switchers.  I model SP on my layout.  I know most SP steam locomotives burned oil and most had the Vandy tender.  Were the Vandy tenders on the 0-6-0's proportionally smaller?  Was there a "standard" size for all Vandy tenders?  Would a

Pacific 4-6-2's Vandy tender be the same size as an 0-6-0's tender?  I looked on Espee Railfan's website, which is very informative, but I can't tell.

 

There is a method to my madness.  I have a Premier MTH Texas Pacific 0-6-0 switcher.  It has a coal tender.  I also have a brand new K-Line SP Vandy tender.  It is semi-scale.  I was thinking of repainting, re-lettering and re-numbering this locomotive and using the K-Line SP Vandy tender with it to make it an SP 0-6-0 switcher.  I'm wondering if the K-line tender would be the correct size.  Matt
