I can't imagine any reason for this to actually be "specific", the "Large" cap was put there to allow for a larger fill opening. Just pretend you were concerned with refueling it quickly,and put the hinge in "The best location in your opinion". It's subjective at best.
I've seen a pictures of a 289 race car being fueled by the "Crew" by pouring gasoline in what appeared to be a large funnel made from what appeared to be a small oval shaped wash tub. How scarey is that!
