Default Hyperco HPT or HPS Spring Comparsion

Does anyone have a way to identify the difference between the Hyperco HPT and HPS springs? My buddy bought a used set of springs and the stickers are off of them. They came off an old Ron Fellows school car. Hyperco says they are pretty sure they only shipped the HPT sets to the Fellows cars, but he said the only way to tell them apart would be color, if the stickers are no longer on them. We dont have anything to reference these to, so does anyone have a set of HPT OR HPS springs they purchased and have pictures of them?

I have the HPT springs on my C5 Z06 but can't get to it at the moment for pics. I have the HPS springs sitting in my storage shed and took this pic. They're a dark blue in color, not sure if that helps or not.

They told me the only way to identify them without the sticker is send them in to be tested.

The ones I have appear to be the same color. I wonder if the HPT is lighter or darker. Or the same, lol.
