If you have a bit of time:
HPOP Line - Driver Side Head - Riffraff Diesel Performance
HPOP Line - Passenger Side Head 99.5-03 - Riffraff Diesel Performance
If not, sometimes if you ask nicely, the local dealership will come close to matching the price.

Then, if they don't budge on the price, order the less expensive one from Clay for the DS and take the more expensive one back to Ford. This is what I have done.
Then, swap it out and keep the good used one in your tool box.
FYI, My cousin bought the cheaper one from the Irish place and made it about 5k before he had to replace it due to a substantial leak. He went OE then.

If I remember correctly, they do in the form of a tag. I am away from my truck right now or I would go out and take a look.

The hoses I removed had an aluminum tag wrapped around them but very little was readable. If they are OEM, the years took that evidence.
I bought the truck from an equipment rental company. (Not a rental) Not likely the hoses were changed at 100k.

I removed ss braided hoses. Glad you told me or I'd have thought I was getting the wrong parts (should have them this morning).

NOT HAPPY 
I got the hoses and I cannot get one of the connections to 'click' in. It seems to be in properly and I cannot pull it out. When I crank the engine, the hose blows out of the hole.
Does that plastic ring, the one you have to push down with the tool for removal, need to be in a certain position when installing the hoses?

On one I worked on recently, I used a small wooden dowel and a hammer to "lightly" drive it the final 1/16 of an inch.
Make sure the fitting is clean and without burrs before you try that.
