One slight problem that I am having is that, at half cock, the bolt pops up to early, just before it locks into half cock. Unless I cock it very very gently, in which case I can get it to lock into half cock without the bolt coming up.

You can bend the leg of the bolt that rides over the cam on the hammer. It does not take much, just a few thousandth at a time until you get the bolt to raise correctly. It is possible that the cam is worn, compare it to your other 1858's.
That coil spring sure looks like it's an added part.
