Default Oil Line Fittings Question

I bought new oil line fittings for my 69' xlch. Two of them have small holes and the other two have large holes. Can anyone tell me which set goes into the rocker boxes, and which go into the crankcase? Thanks*

If you are talking about the Skinny Lines feeding the Rocker Boxes they are the same size on both sides, 1/8" male pipe X compression, unless along the way some one oversided the hole?
Pictures needed here....

I would put large hole on fitting at the top and smaller hole on the fitting on the bottom this will stop oil pipe from dropping into case.
