Faulty memory and short uncoloured pipe between black rubber connectors; probably PF vs FL differences.
Mine just has a rubber elbow, short pipe and another elbow straight onto the inlet manifold. Almost all visible in the attached picture.

Thank you for taking the trouble of posting a comparison pic.

Do you think that the vacuum line subsequently routes to the other side of the engine as mine does, or does it connect into the manifold close by to where you have photographed?

It's definitely straight onto the manifold from the second elbow, but that's a late facelift 40V engine as opposed to your presumably 32V pre-facelift one.

Thanks. I expect you are correct about the engine difference. I'd imagine that there would be a myriad of changes, hopefully all improvements!
