What is the correct GM part number for the upper radiator hose (between the rad and the thermostat) on a 1971 LS5 (454)?

3967433  or  3946011 ?  And how it is supposed to look?

Eckler's replacement for 3967433 looks like that:

Similar shape by Paragon has GM # 3946011:

while Paragon's replacement for 3967433 looks like that:

I know by experience that the shape of the latter won't fit in my vette.
It needs to be 20" long and the S shape is of no use.
By the way, the rad is a Dewitt's Direct-Fit (aluminum).

Any clue?
