Question quick question about valve covers not gaskets

from all the pictures i have seen of the actual engine it seems that mine are different and im not sure why its the same engine as mine so i dont understand.

the difference seems to be that my breather tube connections are in a totally different place i have a picture when i replaced the gasket i used a red heater hose are a replacement for mine and is it even supposed to running just from one to the other?

very confused about the whole breather system

im gonna attach them now... sorry if its a stupid question

That's weird. Can you take off the beauty covers on top of the valve covers and get a couple shots of the top of the VCs?
