^^^ first sentence is correct. not sure if the other is or is not. EDIT looking at the bottom one closer it appears to the same double flare but there is the smooth extension of the male fitting. I would see what the inside threaded area on the old wheel cyls looks like.

All 10" A-body flex hoses screw directly into the wheel cylinder.Only 9" A-body brakes use that small steel line between the hose and the cylinder.Also the pic of the wheel cylinders you posted shows the bleeder straight out,all 10" brakes I've seen have the bleeder coming out at an angle to clear the spindle.Something not right here

Those are not 10" drum wheel cylinders. Get a copy of the FSM, in the brake section it is clearly shown. http://www.mymopar.com/index.php?pid=109The Raybestos ones match the FSM. You either do not have 10" front drums or someone put wheel cylinders out of a 9" drum in there.
They say there are no such thing as a stupid question. They say there is always the exception that proves the rule. Don't be the exception.

One key point that I read in both the Dart and Duster manuals is the following snip. Does that not reference this small jumper line?

If you have that you have 9" drum parts

9" drum ONLY
If you have that you have 9" drum parts Take a look at this file that I received this morning. It appears all these new wheel cylinders today require a bubble flare and double flare for the steel line to attach to the wheel cylinder and the rubber brake hose (reference above).
