I recall swapping a tank some years ago and being equally unpleasantly surprised at the cost of new part. I reused old insulation in the end... Just a cautionary thought (with no real knowledge/expertise behind it - far more knowledgeable folk already commented), but could this padding serve a thermal insulation purpose? To stop engine heat overly heating/expanding fuel in tank? Or overheating the plastic tank itself? I always presumed it was for that rather than noise insulation... but I defer to slob! Anyway given UK is not exactly Italy hot it may not matter in any case... but maybe worth a thought?
