The bottom thinner one to the back of the crank case. The top one to the top of your engine, to the housing sitting on the rocker cover with 3 screws  ;)

Cant remember ever seeing that...breather pipes from engine going into an oil tank..usually airbox..would suggest oil tank is pressurized, might be an aid for oil delivery..some sort of flap valve inside tank..its not really a question..just thoughts...

The bottom pipe is a oil feed to the chain oiler.

Bottom pipe , the one joined to the back of crankcase which is not a breather but a feed for drive chain oiler ?
we think thats a pretty useful thing..if it works  :)

Most people block them off, as modern chain lube is a lot better. And a lot less mess ;)

Nothing wrong with the auto oiler yes its messy but on the plus side I haven't oiled or adjusted the chain in over 4 years and the oil works wonders at keeping rust at bay on the rear wheel  ;)
