In my childhood collection, I have only ever had three of these kind of hoses,
from set
 
Set No: 6980  Name: Galaxy Commander
* 
6980-1 (Inv) Galaxy Commander
412 Parts, 5 Minifigures, 1983
Sets: Space: Classic Space

Set No: 6881  Name: Lunar Rocket Launcher
* 
6881-1 (Inv) Lunar Rocket Launcher
90 Parts, 1 Minifigure, 1984
Sets: Space: Classic Space
, and those hoses were never replaced or mixed
with other collections. I've attached pictures of all three, and they're
all very close to 10 cm long (which means that the 9.6 cm stated for this part
is actually not precise).

So has

* 
x467c10 Hose, Classic 4mm D. 10L / 8.0cm (flexible)
Parts: Hose
actually ever been confirmed in set 6980? It only seems to
exist in black for this set, and judging by the current amount for sale (14),
this part may not exist (taking into account that some hoses may have been shortened
or measured/inventoried wrong).

I checked my set and I also have a hose that ca. 10 cm. It's possible that
the person who added the 10L hose thought that 10L meant 10 cm. The hose was
added to this inventory before the length in cm was added to the name of the
hose.

Only sets 6881-1 and 6980-1 here too.
Mine are 9.6cm, 9.7cm and 10.1cm long.

The hose in my copy of the set is 77mm (slightly under 10 studs) in length.
There is no way to know if it's been cut down at some point, of course.

I've done some more investigation.

My hose is a different colour to the other 'classic hose' parts I have;
it also has a slightly smaller inner diameter, although it is still larger than
that of a genuine pneumatic hose.

So either there have been different types of hose used over the years (possible)
or else what I have is an aftermarket replacement.

Whichever it is, I'm inclined to believe that this set most likely only ever
shipped with a 12L hose.

Thanks for checking further. Based on this we'll conclude for now that this
set only came with the 12L hose. But the 10L hose can be added back if someone
finds evidence of it.

Is it slightly transparent?

When I checked mine, there was a ~10L black one near them but only one and slightly
translucent. I compared it with the pneumatic hose from the same period I had
in another drawer and they match (so in the pneumatic drawer it went).
