Default Distributor weights - Stock?


Two questions, first, do stock advance weights have numbers stamped on them? I see numbers stamped on some pictures in the forum, mine do not have any numbers and look kind of cheap like they may be aftermarket replacements. They also dont really look flat, like they were stamped out with bad dies. Second, (sorry for the low res. pictures of mine, crappy camera) The spring does not hold the top weight tight against the center cam like the bottom. It just kind of floats in the middle. It does contact the cam as soon as you turn the advance but seems like it should be in contact always. Is this something I need to change?
Thanks for your help.

Looks like both the weights and springs have been replaced. I don't like the aftermarket weights, they never seem to fit.
