Default long springs

i removed the coil springs from the front end of my 73 stingray .they had a green tag that has MA and a number .i have not seen this tag in any of my catalogs i would like to replace the springs but im not sure what thay are. the car is a small block car and the springs are 16 inches unsprung. seems crazy long are they aftermarket or some kind of replacement springs. i would like to go with VBP springs but they are only 12 or 13 inches long unsprung. i dont want the snout to sit to low any info on the springs i have will be helpful.

The original springs have more coils than the aftermarket ones. The aftermarket ones have less coils, but are developed to have the same spring rate.
