I got serious about having authentic hose clamps for my Packard Series 23. I found an unrestored parts car and took off all clamps I could find, cleaned them up, and put them on my Packard. Although my car is slightly newer, the Series 23 hose clamps look very close to the one shown on the left of your photo. The one on the right is a modern hose clamp and is not even close. I think vintage hose clamps are an important detail on a show car and modern ones are obvious points off to the judges.
