I’m looking for an originals hose that goes from the air cleaner to the carb for my 3b. Anyone have one?

I bought a breather off ebay awhile back and it came with a hose.  Give me some time and I can post an image of it.  I got a NOS pleated hose back in Sept.  but that vendor is gone now.

I did find this (entered stock number in google: "806254 willys"):

https://www.ebay.com/itm/175367105026?hash=item28d4b1aa02:g:bA8AAOSwXQpi5CJk&amdata=enc%3AAQAIAAAA4JyaI2daDPE0UqiHNxBTjKiQDEyCdIcw3yiudTzwOKOOaum%2FF7mXzlkge6PBP2YdlOhcVAzmKyJZMtXf1WY65WZOpfTbn1NcerO%2BObc%2BCX27VFJX3w8RoAw1P%2BpTnVCB%2FCvF9r6bjfrtQHb6sOA8bXRIVgV9Gkq6%2Fj9fCQO%2B1uJbY8a%2BUZiKrEfMCxE8ni4Pq27LSDfd%2B80niJnd7prC2f3shng0Ubdxp9wesB%2Fmqo1PAA68w7Z9cwG99kDEVRcVnZKtD4c6Uee8%2Fkq5XQ76lW%2BEsrdKre%2FprnBhaEkzxZrd%7Ctkp%3ABk9SR4qJsZiJYg

To me, the cheap crappy versions that fall apart quickly have the "rounded" pleats (I have one on my engine for a year, in a garage, and it already shows cracks) vs. the original, and better quality, style having the "pointed" pleats.  Added:  Saw an Omix Ada hose on ebay with pointed pleats and a review on it said it lasted "months" so my pointed pleats comparison is null and void.

Images added below.  After receiving used hose, I put it on to see what it looked like.  The bend lined up with the carb.  I did bend this one back on itself a bit to see if it had any cracks in between pleats.  None.  More detailed images if you need.
