NOS Front Brake Hoses

[69hemidaytona]

I finally found a pair of NOS properly date coded front brake hoses for my Daytona. Each one has the part number tag taped to the rubber. My question is when a car left the assembly plant were those tags on the hoses, or are those tags only on the replacement parts? Roger Gibson , who is restoring my car, doesn't think the tags were on brake hoses on new cars. However it is possible that the original cars he has seen may have had the tags fall off. Anybody know for sure?...Thanks
