Bubble or Double Flare Brake Lines

Finished making some rear brake lines for the BJ7 and assumed the flare ends were bubble. However, when compared to the original and a stainless steel replacement, it doesn't match. Looks double inverse is the correct flare end. BTW, the SS set is too hard a material and needs to be overtightening to seal. Trying Cunifer brake line from Fedhill. See pics and let me know what you think. Thanks all.

Double flair is correct. When I redid my brake lines, I used galvanized steel from the auto parts store and cut to length and flared.
