I only recall the separate ferrule design, but I have a bunch of old original carb to fuel pump lines that I'll go and check now. Maybe it's just another case of CRS on my part. ��


I just shined a light into the Weatherhead 59 X 4 and it looks very close to the drawing Don posted. The ferrule looks to be pressed into the nut but it is hard to confirm that.
