Looking for larger washer fluid tank

Looking for larger washer fluid tank
Years ago the Honda Parts Now website would let me look at part details for all the parts on the screen. Nowadays, the site knows which parts are for a car in your region. I think it may even be doing this by computer IP address. It will not let me see part numbers for other parts on the screen. I tried different tricks like Japanese VIN's and Canada VIN's, etc...
So, years ago I believe I had found out that the non USDM washer fluid tanks are much larger than ours. I believe they hold more than a gallon, compared to our little 2.5 liter tanks we have here in the USA.
Can someone outside the USA or someone who is feeling more tech savvy, locate the part number for the larger tank? I know this would take the tank, neck, bushing, and maybe even more parts.. I also know it's a very odd modification, but it's also extremely convenient to hold 40% more fluid.
Notice Part 17 does not have the square round it, this means I cannot click on it or see it in the list below.
Thanks!

Never really inspected the windshield washer tank closely enough to see if this looks like it'd fit, but maybe this will start your search off: https://autoparts.beforward.jp/detai...ks/PA06461069/
In the winter, I usually have an old water bottle that I fill with washer fluid near the spare tire cavity as a backup.

The US part is 76841-T5R-A01... TR5 seems to be a code for the model. When I ask google for 76841--A01, it gives me different three digit codes and all turn out to be Honda washer tanks for different models. Anyone know where to find a list of model codes? I'm guessing the Jazz has a different model code.

The manual for my Canadian 2018 Fit says:
US washer tank 2.6 US qt (2.5 L)
Canadian washer tank 4.2 US qt (4.0 L)
That's for 2018 and I don't know if the difference existed before that year. I have no way of knowing what the part number is for the Canadian tank though. Incidentally I'm guessing that the larger tank for Canada is required because of our sloppy winters and as such is fairly unique, and would not be needed for say Asian models or Mexican cars and the like.

Get a used tank from a canadian junk yard.
The 2.5L tank is the bean counters at work to save a few pennies.
They sell windshield washer in a gallon container. Yet, you cannot put all the container in the washer fluid tank. You're left with 1/3 of a gallon each time you fill up.

Yeah but I assume that's C$ 120 which is about US$ 90. Still expensive though with shipping.

Some choices on Amazon, but I didn't look for the 2015 Fit.
