While the do not have the mainspring in stock for the Mk. IV, they do have the mainspring for the Mk. III though I don't know if that part is interchangeable between the two models.
My understanding is that Webley used the same nomenclature (Mark series) for both the .455 guns and the .38s and since the frames (and other parts) are different, its important to know which frame the "mark XXX part is for.

Part for the large frame Webleys are "unobtainium" for the most part, and the only way to get most parts is to cannibalize another Webley of the same model.

Since the .38 Webley Mk IV served much longer, and for decades after the war as police guns in various parts of the Empire / Commonwealth, there's probably more parts still available, but its still catch as catch can, as none have been made in decades.
