  Refer to the photo.  Are these correct clamps?  If not, what is.  In the past I had the crush/pinch clamps there

I have seen both ways and also one of each with the crush type on the steel tube end . The correct clamps have the longer squared off ends . If you take the more modern rounded (why they changed) eared clamps and try to square them off like the vintage ones the ears become too short.

Looking at some pictures of unrestored cars found band clamps on early examples and pinch on later

Just an observation - not many that haven't had the filter replaced after all these years
