At the pump are 2 female fittings. Essentially a flat hex cap or plug with a hole in the middle.

Pressure side hose has a 90 degree bend tube and what appears to be 5/16 inverted flare to screw into the hole. Return side is a 90 degree short piece of tubing that the hose just clamps onto with a hose clamp.

The pressure hose changes size at a restriction fitting about 18 inches away from the control valve and transitions into what appears to be 1/4 with another inverted flare fitting that screws into a female threaded hole in the valve. Return hose just clamps onto a short piece of tubing again.

On the Bendix system there are also two short pressure hoses between control valve and cylinder. Monroe is integral so just the pressure and return hose to pump.

Look in or downloadhttps://www.packardinfo.com/xoops/html/downloads/partslist5556/PartPlates.pdf the 55-6 parts manual, plates section, at plate 31C or 31D for the respective systems to get an idea of what is there.
