Update - the new parts arrived from the vintage power wagon site including bolts, brass connectors and inner/outer copper crush washers.  Installed them this evening and did the first round of line bleeding before dinner.  So far, DRY!  No leaks!  Oh, my....  insert smile here.
 
My guess is that perhaps the ridges on the old brass connectors were not as sharp and defined which allowed brake fluid to pass and leak?
 
Thanks so much for the advice and suggestions to get this problem solved!
