Are your tanks mounted horizontal or vertical? And from my understanding, the change over occurred 10 years ago and updated the valve. What year tanks do you have, are they original to the TM. Can you offer a picture of the bracket?
Any store bought propane tanks should fit the TM and be filled at RV stations, dealers, propane store, or exchange them at a kiosk.

If they are vertical swap them out at an exchange. We just did it and got 2 2017 tanks.

Propane tanks in the SL and SD models are horizontal tanks, and distinctly different from the vertical tanks used on other TM models. They are NOT interchangeable.
If your propane supplier won't fill your tank because it's too old, you may just need to get the tank recertified. Large suppliers like Amerigas will do this for a nominal fee ($10-$20) -- they sometimes remove the valve, do a hydrostatic test, take a peak inside, and then stamp a new date on the tank, which will allow fillers to legally fill the tank. Sometimes, they just stamp the new date. 
If you need new tanks, be prepared to spend ~$150-$200 each. I believe I've posted here where I bought mine, as I cannot remember where.

There's a guy right here on this forum in the Parts & Accessories section that is parting out a TM and I think he has (or had) a pair of horizontal tanks.

No need to purchase new ones. Take the tanks to a propane supplier and have them recertified . Get them filled while you are there.

Although I don't use the horizontal tanks, I see they sell tanks with quantity gages. No more guessing, so I bought one. I hate guessing. Thanks Wavery
