If that is the case, yes it can be replaced by a BA header tank. But you will need the lower BA radiator hose and a longer top hose that connects to the radiator cap spout.
Ask Mechan1k as he has done it.

It can be done ... as long as your AU doesn't have a coolant level sender in your original header tanks.
As the BA/BF ones have no provision for them at all. Blueoval pretty much got it right ... need the lower radiator hose from a BA ... and the top small hoses need to be longer (can get these are any auto parts place off a roll and cut to correct length).
