Default 2008 front break line

I bought a new front break line from Magnum Shielding. The upper fitting is 7/16" and the lower is 3/8". From what I have found on the forum, this should be the correct sizes. But when I look at the stock break line, the one on my bike, the upper and lower seems to be the same size. It's a braided 1-piece line. I have not loosend the banjo, so I have no idea about the inner diameter, but the outer is the same on both ends - and it's the same size as the Mangnum line 7/16". The outer diameters on the Magnum line fittings are different.

Sorry for poor English, but I hope someone understand what I'm trying to say - and can tell me if I have bought the correct break line. I don't want to take off the old one just to check the sizes.

BTW: The Magnum Shielding Black Pearl cables and break lines are not so nice in real life as on the pictures on their web site. They are not real black, more grey. A little bit dissapointed with the colour.

I THINK YOU HAVE THE CORRECT BRAKE LINE. THOSE SIZES YOU MENTIONED ARE THREAD SIZES, BUT THE ACTUALL BANJO SIZE IS 10mm and 12mm.
