Yes, the front reservoir originally served the rear brakes. You'd probably
remember if you swapped them because it would have been necessary to
acquire thread adapters to make the swap.

You need to check those rear brakes. Remember when you jack the rear to
release the pressure from the air bags as soon as the jack under the bogie
takes the weight, otherwise you may damage the shock absorbers. Placing a
12" x 3" steel bar (spring leaf) in the bogie beneath the suspension arms
will make the required jacking distance much less.

​HTH,​
