Subject:Coolant leak found but parts question

Hi folks,

On my 84 I had a friend available so pressurized the system to look for a leak.
 
We found it fast.

There are two large hoses coming off the reservoir 

The top one is leaking 
When I went to replace with the ones I purchased some time ago from Vanagain I found the top one doesn’t fit. 

The metal H I have looks like something put together from house furnace parts. 

I’m wondering if I don’t have a original connector.  Is this part replaceable?  Is there a picture on a vender site? 

While working on it the hose on the other side of the connector failed so I need to gather information, and parts.
