Tim,

If you go to this site:

http://gmheritagecenter.com/gm-heritage-archive/vehicle-information-kits.html

and click on the 1931 Cadillac V-12 link, the resulting .pdf has a picture in the Preliminary Service Information brochure.  If you have a shop manual, it has more detailed images.

The 1931 V-12 vacuum tank was a single unit that was internally separated to provide for the two carburetors that fed the engine.  By contrast, the V-16 had two separate vacuum tanks, one for each carburetor.  Stewart-Warner manufactured the units.

I hope that helps.
