Here is how it turned out. I did stick the springs back in but I had to cut them in half to put in from each end. I couldn’t get them to go around the second bend.
I just didn’t feel like trying to hunt down exact replacements so I went with O’reillys stock hoses.

Those radiator hoses look to be a great fit. When you get a chance can you please post the part numbers? Good luck in Haiti. Stay safe.

Sharing my final solution for the radiator hoses. I went with silicone hoses and a stainless steel inner coil. It is probably a bit expensive overall but it should outlast me. I used two 1-1/4" 90 elbows, one 1-1/4' 45 elbow, one 1-1/4" to 1-1/8" reducing 45 elbow and two 1-1/4" joiners. They are all tied together with stainless steel t-bolt clamps. Inside the elbows I inserted the stainless steel coil to avoid collapsing the hose. Here are some pics:
