350i fhc fuel tank breather hose?

Photo is nearside b post sans trim,
the copper fuel pipe connects to the top of the n/s fuel tank and emerges from the wheel arch as pictured. I've yet to find the other end of the rubber hose.
Having a bit of interest removing the petrol tanks, this isn't helping.
Before my oversize cable shears like it, does it look original?
Or what should it look like?

On mine the the breather pipes are rubber and come off the top of the filler neck. They loop up and over the seat belt mounting boss, like yours, and then run along the wheel arch and then down into the void behind the rear wheel and out a hole at the bottom.

Removing the fuel tanks is a bastrd of a job. Good luck with that one
