The hose clamp I ordered (left) vs the hose clamp I got (right). I looked in 3 different versions of the Tm and all numbers match up with the clamp on the right. Anyone have the real number? It’s for a 2K (MEP531A/501A). Thanks in advance

As an automotive tech in the civilian world, I would use the clamp you received.
The clamp you got will provide a evenly distributed constant tension around the circumference of the hose. The worm drive type you have can crush at the gear point and be uneven in its tension.
I tell young techs all the time, just because something doesn't look the same, doesn't mean it won't work.
