Does anyone know the banjo bolt size for the driver side of a 79 disc brake setup? Is it common for the two sides to have a different size?

I was having a heck of a time figuring out what calipers the previous owner put on my 70. Since it was a metric fitting, I figured a 79 would work. Well it worked with the passenger side, but the drivers side requires a different size banjo bolt.

Alternatively, does anyone know of a caliper that will work on my 70 and have 10mm banjo bolts on both sides? Ordinarily, I'd just go to the autoparts store and pick up a different size banjo bolt, but nobody seems to have what I need.
