It would help if you told us what model you are building and maybe we can help you.
I would guess it's an Italeri kit but they have done a lot of them.

My  bad  Force    I am  building  the  Scania R730   V8 Streamline and  yes an Italeri  kit and  I  know  the engine  isnt  correct

One problem here is that the engine is not right for the R730, the engine should have been the new generation 16.4 liter 730hp DC16 V8 but the engine in this model is the old DS14 from the old T and R 142 kits and modified with some new parts to more look like the 530hp DSC14 13 V8 for the R 144 when that kit came out, Italeri took a shortcut and it's a carry over from that kit and not accurate for the R730.
The "round canister" beside the injector pump is the cyclone centrifugal oil cleaner wich Scania has allways had on their engines, it's better than any spin on or cartridge oil filters around but a bit messy as you have to take it appart and scrape and wash it clean when you change the oil in the engine.
The "square canister" looks to be a crude representation of the air compressor, it's in the right position for it and the air compressor on the later DSC14 engines has a square top.
The power steering pump is gear driven and is mounted on the front cover in the middle on the drivers side of the engine.
I don't have this kit and have not seen the instructions for it, I have just seen pictures of the parts, so I don't know what tank you mean on the passenger side, so a picture might help.
