Default Leaf spring identification. Suspension gurus needed!

I need a little help identifying the leaf springs that I recently acquired. I bought leafs, sways, end links and shocks for an amazing deal. I just needed/wanted the shocks and metal endlinks for my C5.

Here's the problem.....
I was told these came off a 2013 Z06 but I'm having a very difficult time confirming that. I'm putting these up for sale and I don't want to mislead anyone.

So......
First of all, can someone confirm these are indeed C6 leaf springs?
Secondly, are they from a Z06?

Sorry for the upside down pic but the stamped numbers are:
22171750
22200944

The stickers are nearly worn off but I can make out the last 5 as 62579 on one of them.

Thanks in advance!

Appear to be Z51 springs, according to this thread:

If you want to research more, just Google each number. Most of the hits are for Corvette Forum. There was another thread in the C5 section that ID'd the 71750 as a C5 Z51 spring, which had a slightly lower rate than the C6. So I don't know exactly what you have.

Trust me...I googled it.

From what I gather the stamped number was reused or carried over by GM. I got everything from a C5Z to a C6 Z51 when I searched one of the numbers.

I was able to make out the number on the torn sticker that's pictured. The number 25962579 comes back as the rear leaf spring for a FE3 equipped car i.e. Grand Sport, Z51.

I'm a bit confused because I have verified that the shocks and sways are indeed from a Z06 and I bought them all from the same guy at the same time. Not that it holds weight but the seller swears they are out of a 2013 Z06.

From my understanding, Z06 suspension is the FE4. Is it possible there are FE3 equipped Z06's out there or am I being naive and don't want to admit I was duped? OR is it possible, like the stamped number, that the sticker number is misleading?

The springs I bought used have the exact same numbers and the stickers are missing also but was told 2008 z06. Did we buy from the same person? lol

2008 Z06, took them out myself
- 22200990, Tag: 25909895 (NGP)
- 22200996, Tag: 15233392 (RJX)

Maybe they came out of a GS and he thinks it is a Z. I find it interesting that the sticker does not show any part of a Barcode and looks old for a car that is not even a year old.
