The first is actually for a 18 inch unisex bike, the second may fit and the third is for more like a spaceliner frame but may fit. alot would depend on what fab work you want to do
 
You have an early 1960's Huffy built Belknap Bluegrass bike. So any early 60s Huffy tank should fit. The second one will fit, but you will need to find the mounting bracket and drill two holes in the headtube.
 
The first tank you linked (18" unisex bike) I used the exact same tank, albeit rustier, on my Murray cantilever frame in the build off last year. I had to cut a little bit of the end of the tank off to make it fit the way I wanted, I used tin snips.
