Derek, my 1946 VB valve chest vents to atmosphere. Pipe runs from a banjo fitting on the barrel down similar manner and next to the timing chain case vent. Both end at about the same level as the frame cross meter close by.
Make sure both discharge pipes are not in contact with each other ( or are tethered tightly together) or any part of the frame other wise vibration will occur?

Thanks. That is another element I can finalise.

Fist pic showing my valve chest banjo connection.
Second pic showing both Valve Chest and timing case breather pipes exiting vertically down to just below the bottom frame cross member.
The shiny horizontal pipes in the foreground are oil out and return to the engine.[attachment

It sort of dangles down and vents to the atmosphere.
