Default Radiator hoses - which one?

So I needed to flush etc coolant and cooling system (hasn't been done for 165000km) and bought what I thought were correct top and bottom radiator hoses. Top one OK, but mechanic says lower one not correct. It is pretty much a straight hose with a cupla small curves. This was supplied via USA Jeep people which state it is correct one.

The top one currently on JK is very "C" shaped with several twists and turns etc... when I looked at parts diagrams on several sites, it rather looks like a TJ version bottom hose. Quadratec does not have a similar lookiing hose and even their MOPAR one is like a straighter hose with a couple of shallow bends. I am thinking maybe the design was changed.

Anyone can help please?
