Maybe someone with a 69' can confirm, but your upper hose does not look correct.

Another thing you might want to try if your not into NCRS is your local auto parts store. I worked with them and after two trys we had the right ones. I worked with 2 supply houses and neither one got it right. The local guy you can take your old one with you and see if it matches up. Just another option.

Your local auto parts store will be able to get you very close to original. I got both hoses for my '69 427 and had no trouble fitting them (had to trim the top one if I remember correctly). If you get a new lower hose, make sure it comes with the spring in it so the hose can't be sucked flat and hinder flow. Mine didn't come with one and I had to use the old one.
