i was an product engineer at a small family owned plastic blow molder. The windshield washer fluid tank was the last thing the OEM worried about. they would come to us and say we need a windshield washer fluid tank. it must hold X.X liters and fit in this area. that is why some are the goofy shape (hard to mold) and in the oddest places.
factory sub woofer speakers where just about as bad as for a certain size speaker they needed XXXX.X of volume for acoustics. they too are in the darnest places in the back of the car and the oddest shapes and therefore hard to make.
coolant tanks are somewhat tough too but the engine cooling teams carry more weight so they generally are allotted better real estate for locations.
of course the newer more aerodynamic cars have less and less good space so.
as far as that truck goes since there is plenty of space i would say it was a cost save to put them in the same tank assembly. probably an "off the shelf" unit used by a few manufacturers. dangerous in some regards as they could be easily mixed up with the wrong fluids.

To top that off, you have a cup with oil in it ("why would you want to lubricate your carburetor?"). On closer examination (and some reading in a AC D-14 service manual), I found out that this is a pretty ingenious method of cleaning the air in the tractor's intake tract.
