There ya go! Wild guess of '74 or '75 for the xs650, smaller one guessing '74 by the decals, model unknown.

Wow, looks like a great deal ....... 
not yours, you don’t know what year they are, no mention of condition, no price, no pictures.... but hey, at least we know they are in Tucson!

They are not mine either...but I'm in Tucson. Found them. Craigslist Tucson under Motorcycle parts. Just a few blocks north of me too.

Thanks for the edit there Azman. The caps and locks alone are probably worth $50. Been searching for a decent lock and key for my spare 75 tank for a while. As usual, Ebay thinks they are made of gold.
On the matter of locks....(and while I am not an expert, I do have some recent experiences) - at least two of our local locksmiths actually stock blank keys that will fit 1970s-80s Yamahas and if you stare at the lock itself, there should be four numbers engraved on it. If you give the locksmith those numbers - they can cut you a key that works perfectly for not much money.
I recently bought RobinCs '78E and the keys had been mislaid. So, I took the gas tank filler cap and the seat lock to a locksmith and for around $30, he cut me two sets of keys that fit and work perfectly. When I got my '76C Standard, one of the keys had a big crack in it and the locksmith made me new ones for $3-4/key (because it was just a copying job).
Anyhow - a lack of keys is simply not that big a barrier to getting a bike going again.

The one with the decals is definitely a 1974 TX500. As was said, the caps and locks go for a lot. Both tanks are good deals.
