GSLSE Heater Return Line.

I've searched and read on this topic, however, I'm confused after a talk with several parts people.

My heater return line failed the other day, caught it immediately due to massive smell of coolant. It steam cleaned my engine, which was an added bonus.

Fixed it on the side of the road re-using the same hose and drove it home, but I want to replace it with a factory fitted hose.

I've found several parts diagrams, but here's where my problem comes in:

The part as shown for the 2nd gen RX7 looks much more like the hose that I removed from my car.

The part shown for the 1st gen GSLSE looks like it's longer and makes more bends than the one that I removed. For reference, I will include the pictures I was sent:

Which one do I need? I'll post pictures of my hose when I get back to the car.

Before anyone asks, no, it is not a swap, it's the factory 13B, says REGI on the manifold.

Thanks for your help guys, sorry if this is retarded, I've just got a drive coming up and I want to have the CORRECT hose ordered to go on it!
