The Scirocco with the larger 55 litre tank has a filler neck about 100mm shorter at the tank end.

You can fit the longer version to a later car by cutting off about 100mm at the tank end.

Or sell it to someone like me who only has the small fuel tanks and can't get a new one from VW.

I have a spare filler neck (for my own stock) which I think is the shorter version - I'd be happy to swap if you ended up with a longer one.
