very, very different. The KC-135 has forward and aft fuselage tanks below the floor - 4 cells forward and 5 aft. There is also an aft tank above floor level. The main fuselage interior has a cargo floor and is normally set up with webbing type seats along the sidewall. There are also two APUs inside the rear of the cabin.
The KC-135 was built from the start as a tanker, and it shows.
