Default Diesel 75 saloon springs colour codes

Hi guys

I need a pair of front springs for my 02 diesel saloon 75.

The code on the sticker in my car is PL JL (Green and Blue). Now PL JL is available from Rimmers. However, I have found a spring on another site which is a genuine part. Can someone please confirm if the below is correct? As I want genuine for my car. Thanks.

The description says:

Diesel and V6 coil spring. ROVER 75 SERIES FRONT COIL SPRING IN GREEN-PURPLE,
SAME AS GREEN-WHITE, AND GREEN-BLUE.

I'll hazard a guess that that's from B.O.B.🙄
I couldn't say if they are "genuine" but i have em fitted to the saloon and they seem fine.

Yes, from BOB. He sells old genuine Rover stock. Do you have these same springs fitted to yours?

Yes rav, from memory I got them as part of a complete strut assembly with "Delphi" shocks.
Well, the eBay add showed them with a nice "Delphi" label. What arrived was a strut with a printed sticker with the word "Delphi" on it.
Not the same.🤔
That said, they are doing the job nicely.👍

I've ordered them now. I'll see what they're like. Hopefully, it's the real deal. I'm confident it will be.
