Good of you to offer here first, these may well be helpful to someone.

For those who may be looking (and for your info as the seller in case you end up taking them to ebay):

The lower hose in your picture is the one that runs from the front of the cylinder head (at the top of the upper radiator hose outlet) to the cold start device housing on the injection pump. This hose is pretty difficult to find, obviously NLA, and can be a little challenging to improvise since the ends are different sizes. Plus it lives right up on top of the engine, so if you have to homebrew one with a bunch of adapters and clamps, the ugly result is right in immediate view to degrade your otherwise pristine engine bay. So it is very much worth having a good spare, someone on here should buy this. I will try to find the P/N for reference.

The other hose I am not 100% sure about its location. Based on the shape my best guess is that it may be a section of heater hose (possibly the length that runs behind the engine from the outlet at the back of the block up to the firewall connection). Or, perhaps more likely I think, it might also be the hose that runs from the bottom connection on the coolant expansion tank to the cold tank on the radiator. Probably of less value than the shorter head-IP hose since either one of those is easy enough to make out of bulk hose, but maybe still useful if it's in good shape.
