Default Clamp question

I have been installing the original style hose clamps on my '66 L79. There are 4 somewhat similar clamps that are confusing me. I know that 2 of them go on the hose from the expansion tank to the tee fitting. The other 2 go on the waterpump by-pass. The problem is I don't know which ones go where. One pair is stamped "11". The other pair is stamped "10 1/2". The set was not dated. I have searched through the shop manual and my assembly manual. I bet I have them reversed.
Can anyone please give me some help with this? :confused:

The clamps in this bypass kit from Paragon are stamped "11."

Thanks Paul. I'll switch them. I had the 10 1/2's on the by-pass. This forum is great! :seeya
