Default Brake hose conundrum

My 2002 XJ8 4.0 has been fitted with Brembo discs and calipers all round. I believe Brembo's were only fitted to XJR's? Mine is not supercharged, just an SE.
The old girl needs new brake hoses. Some websites say both XJ8 & XJR have same hoses - some say they don't...
Does anyone know, or even better have a part number?

It's got the brembo 4 pistons? Someone must have gone to some effort to get those retrofitted.

The catalog shows them as separate parts, the part for those calipers is MXD5670BC , part 8 here https://www.jaguarclassicparts.com/u...ke-pipes-front
