Default spring question

I am looking at a pair of springs and the seller said the info stamped on the springs is NYU with a number 53246 and HA16 (41049)

I believe the NYU is for stock suspension (not 100%), but not sure of the HA16 and the 5 digit numbers.

Thoughts?

TIA

HA is very likely FRONT '94 & '95 LT1 / FE1 W/FX3

depending on what year vette the springs were out of, but the NYR spring is the base spring for i believe around the 89-91 years. this spring is a little stiffer than other years base springs except for the 84 cars.
the NYU spring is the Z51 rear spring and is the stiffest of all springs except for the 84 cars.

I bought a set from you, I was on FB marketplace and they had both springs for $100, might be worth picking up if shipping is not crazy
