Funnily enough, I have just bought one of these. http://fifai5.free.fr/Ebay/moto/index.html
I think it would be fine for overlanding. You are right not to worry about fuel capacity: there are fuel stations everywhere in the world where there is a road. If not, there is someone standing there waiting to sell you a gerrycan full of the stuff.
I don't see why the wheel/tyre choice would trouble you too much either. There are very few rides where trail tyres are a good choice. (Where are you heading?)
The drawback I see is the suspension. It is very soft and there is no preload adjustment. This is fine if you are light and you pack small and are staying on the road. Otherwise it may be an issue.
