'71-'72 Rear Brake Hose Routing?

I am working on a '70 1/2t SWB Stepside that has a '71-'72 rear axle under it. From the pictures I have seen, on the '70 models there was a tab welded to the top of the axle on the passenger side of the pumpkin to attach the brake hose/tee fitting to, and the other end of the hose attaches to the crossmember lower brace just in front of the crossmember. As a result, the brake hose runs around the front of the passenger side shock absorber, kind of in the way of where I think the exhaust will want to be.

The later model rear end, on the other hand, has a stud bolt in the differential cover, that I assume held a bracket to land the brake hose/brake line tee, because there is no other provision for attaching a brake hose. My question is: where does the brake hose mount on the '71-'72 models (both ends)? Does anyone have a picture handy, showing the detail of the later brake hose and brake line tee mounting? I could easily weld a tab on the top of the axle, but I think I like the idea of mounting the brake hose/tee on top (or in front) of the pumpkin...

Thanks for your help!
