The confusion in my car came from someone having installed a tank from a newer car, with a dead in-tank pump fitting.
It turned out that my car is equipped with the external pump at the tank, and the second next to the filler neck, as in your example 2.
This is a '78 so the filter is not next to the pump, instead up with the accumulator, as your example mentioned.
Once I'd learned just what I had found, with the assistance of some others here on RL, I went ahead and ordered an in-tank strainer to replace the fuel pump outlet fitting and reinstalled the tank with new return and equalization hoses.

Repairing the hose doesn't matter if the pump is seized. I have pulled seized in-tank pumps with split hoses. I don't think I've seen a seized pump with an intact hose.
I have one sitting in my rollaway, and the hose isn't split. Jeff Spahn was here when we pulled it out of the tank. It's the new in tank pump I bought from Porsche. FWIW, I don't think I'm the only one that bought a new pump from Porsche, that failed.

You aren't. Chucks GTS had one that failed very quickly after installation. Put a strainer and a new external and it was great.

Right. I wasn't counting infant mortality. I was referring to in-tank pumps that actually worked for a while.
