I am by no means an expert or authority on hydraulics, so this is just my opinion...
Black iron or galvanized pipe, intended for water pipe or nat. / LP gas (hardware store pipe) is thinner than fittings designed for hyd. use. I suppose they are schedule 40? At any rate they are usually not thick enough to have the bevel on the inside like you are looking for. And if they are thick enough, they are not machined on the inside. The only way these ever seal is thread-to-thread. Here is an example: Black Malleable Iron Pipe Fittings Notice that it says they are for low pressure (not over 150 PSI). I wonder why a hyd. hose place is even selling them?
But usually fittings sold for hyd. use are thicker (schedule 80? ) and will have the inside bevel. Here is an example: Hydraulic Pipe Fittings These are sold for hyd. use, but I doubt there is any way to guarantee they all have the inside bevel. For example, I doubt that item 5404N is thick enough to be beveled like you are looking for. It may have a slight bevel, but it's probably just from reaming the end after it was cut and threaded. The fittings that look like item 5500 through 5605 usually have the bevel. Like Kenny said, all hose end fittings have it, but for ordering online, unless you can call and ask (and get lucky enough to talk to someone who *1* Knows what they are talking about, and *2* Will care enough to take the time to actually check for you, I think you just have to decide if you want to take the chance for the lower price. If it comes in without the bevel you can always toss it in your spare parts, then go buy exactly what you need locally. Or, try to use it. I have got lucky a few times joining a female pipe swivel to a non-beveled fitting. But it is, at best, a hit and miss, cross your fingers and hope it doesn't leak. Which is to say, I have also been unlucky and had that combination to leak.
Again, just an opinion, but based on over 30 years of working on forklifts, tractors and construction equipment.
