More (tentative!) parts ID's...
For the cylindrical tanks on the landing legs, the Monogram 1/48 scale 500lb bomb is nearly a match in size and shape. They were certainly available in the late 1970's! The various B-17 versions had them, and well as the 1/48 B-29 kit.
I am not saying "Eureka! This is the part!" because I don't know that. But it's the closest kit part that I have seen so far.
Also, the Space Shuttle with a Shuttle Bay interior became available by 1978 from Revell; possibly Monogram and Airfix. The exterior of the Akir Weather Satellite certainly has one of these parts!
