1970 442 Power steering hose routing

Are there any other pictures of the correct routing for the high pressure power steering hose on a 1970 455 equipped A-Body?
On my car it looks like someone installed the 98/88 PS hose which is different from the A-body hose.

This picture was in the Jan 2023 JWO. Looks like metal line that goes into the power steering box is rotated to point to the drivers side of the car.

Don't really understand what you're asking....the photo you posted immediately above has the same position on the high pressure hose as shown in the PIM ("Assembly Manual") page you posted. Did you think the PIM drawing was incorrect for some reason?

I am trying to understand the approximate clocking of the high pressure power steering hose on the end that connects to the power steering box.

I believe the repair manual has an illustration of what you’re looking for. The position is the same regardless if it’s a 350 or 455.

Specific "clocking" is illustrated on same image you posted in your 1st Post - except it is located in the upper LH corner of that (PIM) page (View B). Return Hose 45° from its reference line, Pressure Hose 30° from its reference line.
