New spring came in. Look at the height difference.

Looks like a small amount of green paint on the old one which would mean they are the same spring. No reason it wouldn't be the same spring. I'll just copy and paste this from another forum where I posted it.
From what I understand it didn't take much material in the right spots to strengthen the 226 and 220. I'm not sure about the 226 but the old style american 220 was changed over in 94 or 95. The new 220 starting at serial number 219166 had three changes. The frame was stronger, the trigger group was totally changed because the 220 was the only one out of the three that couldn't be converted to DAO and lasty the recoil spring weight was increased to 20#. These new ones had a more rounded hammer and the recoil spring was painted green.
