As yakuza noted, the front hoses are likely the same. It's the back hoses where you may have a variance.
The HEL kit photo you posted shows a single hose for the rear. This is a typical setup for a sold-rear-axle car with no ABS. However with ABS, you may have a separate circuit for each wheel, which means two hoses for the rear.

I do remember reading something like that somewhere on a forum but couldn't re-find it haha. I wonder if it's worth getting the lift done, then taking it to a brake specialist afterwards to assess the situation & make custom lines? Someone mentioned that could be quite expensive though - you guys have any leads for alternatives?
Again, really really appreciate your help! Been a long time lurker on this forum

Typically, hydraulic hoses in various lengths with appropriate connectors are available off the shelf -- there probably is no need to have them custom-made. Worth talking to your brake specialist before you dive in, though, if only to save time during the fit-out.
Note when talking to the brake man that often specialists will use the word "lines" to refer only to the steel or alloy (hard) lines in the system, and will say "hoses" for the flexible sections. Just FYI for when you are having those discussions.

I got mine from a member on here. They were extended but I wasn't after that so much as them being braided and therefore stronger and better pedal feel. My 2011 had one rear line even with abs but my current very late gen3 has 2 at the back as it has traction control so has to be able to fire each brake separately

There is a real possibility that you might wreck some of the brake pipes because of seized and rusty connections. The motor factors in my area cut brake pipes to length from a huge roll and install the end nipples, which is not expensive. Then I use a pipe bending tool to bend the them into shape. Ask for cut-offs to practice your bending.
