That illustration is not correct. Water flows from the engine to the radiator through both of the upper hoses and out the radiator back to the engine through the bottom radiator hose. As I said before, the xjs uses a dual pass radiator. I suggest you read Kirby Palm's "Experience in A Book" (Available for free online). It contains all the info you'll ever need about your cooling system.
P.S. It looks like your fuel lines are all original and therefore on borrowed time. BEWARE. They WILL burst and start a fire! Replacing all fuel hoses should go to the top of your to-do list. I learned the hard way once.

When I flushed mine, I removed BOTH top hoses from the radiator, inserted a garden hose into the radiator, stared the engine and turned on the garden hose. When the warms up the thermostats will open and the water will come out both hoses.
