Brake lines install

Hi all, changing the brake lines from master cylinder to block on frame under brake booster on my friend's 71 442 (front disk brake).
I want to be sure the lines were routed right before I buy and change them.
The rear port on the block is a 1/4" hose that was connected th the rear port on the master cylinder and the front port on the block to the front port
on the master cylider is a 3/16" line.

I noticed that the 1/4" line use 2 different size fitting, is that ok ?

Thanks

Its been explained before that this is on purpose. This kept any errors on the assembly line down to a minimum. If the fittings were the same, it would cause problems during the assembly process.
