Plumbing lines water in?

I’m working on getting new plumbing fixtures to connect to a water source. I don’t fully understand on the plumbing works on my newly acquired ‘57 Caravanner.

Why would there be two pieces for water to enter the airstream (note: both are direct to use for sink shower toilet. There is a separate spot to fill the water tank). Or are these stain lines?? If they are drain then I don’t know where water hook ups are.

Also what kind of adapter or fixture do I need to be able to hook up to water?

I can’t use the original because as you can see in the photo it’s bent pretty bad.

I have no vintage experience, but those two fittings you show are flair fittings on copper tube and normally used for gas piping.

Those both look like drains. 60 years of owner mods make the original plans almost impossible to decipher. Consider new PEX.
