Default Stock Spring Mounting parts?

I'm in the process of freshening my rear suspension & wheel bearings... Whee...

My current spring is a little cracked & splintered, looks like it had been impacted at some point.. Anyway, I got a used stock spring from another club member, but it doesn't have any center mounting parts. I guess he used them on his new spring.

Anyway, when I took my old spring off last night, the mounting h/w isn't in the best shape.

the bottom plate (Mount plate?) is fine, but then there's an aluminum plate, some kind of pad, a rubber mount, the spring, another rubber mount, another aluminum plate and another pad that sits against the diff.

All I've been able to find online at the vendors is the bottom plate, which is in great shape.

One of the aluminum plates is cracked a little, the rubber mounts are shot, and the other mystery pads I'm not sure about.

Does anyone know the names of these parts, and/or where I can get replacements??

I'm going to get an energy suspension master bushing kit, and I know it has the spring end cushions, but am not sure about the center. I'd like to do poly there if possible too.

It looks like new spring kits come with the parts, but I haven't seen them separately.

Thanks for any help!!
