I have banjo fittings on all of my disc brakes, and have never seen different. 
I have also gone thru 35 or 36 Spridgets in the past 26 years.
Maybe someone did away with the banjo fittings and just screwed in a male 
fitting right to the caliper.
Maybe you have Girling (factory) disc brakes on your bugeye. I have never seen 
the factory optional setup.
