I've seen original "Copiglia" type bands (as in your photo) used as well as simple clamping bands,
with a screw and square nut but I haven't seen any with the wire clip. There's no reason not
to use them though.

Thank you Klassic Metal,
so i will look for Coppiglia style clamps if those were the original ones.
if some are still used in the car, it could means that those might have been the original ones.
Thanks,
Eddie
