Having a reserve on a full race car doesn't make much sense to me and I'm wondering if the 427 S/C fuelling arrangements were cobbled together when they were converted from race cars and that included a reserve fuel facility.
What is also intriguing is the location of the pumps. There is a plate behind the aluminium trunk panel that has two pairs of holes for mounting the SW pumps, but none of the period pictures I've seen appear to use those mounting locations due to the spacing between the pumps. Why?

I think the correct info has already been given to you....
"...Having a reserve on a full race car doesn't make much sense to me"
It does, when you have no fuel level gauge.
The location and mounting for the pumps was not designed into the chassis by AC. They were mounted where they would be convenient and appropriate.
If accuracy is what you seek, I (and others) have given you the correct info.
I believe you need to not look at restored or converted originals...or replicas thereof... and just see a vintage era picture.
( and +/- an inch or so is acceptable.
