Chris,  I don't know about the interior of the Moss tank.   I bought a ebay 
tank from Angelheartpancho for my Healey.  It's well made and the only 
complaint I had was that he was using the wrong fitting for the fuel line 
but that shouldn't be a problem for the MGB tank.  If you do use the new 
tank be sure you clean it well before installing it because my new tank had 
a lot of black stuff in it (I think it was black paint?) which kept fouling 
the fuel filter.  I assume you have a fuel filter on your MG.  I would not 
worry about the shape of the pickup.  As long as you have a good filter it 
should catch any junk.  The strainer in the OEM tank is just a primitive 
filter which you don't need unless you are getting a lot of dirt or sand and 
rocks in your tank.
