Default Please help me identify these valve springs

I purchased a new (used) engine for my Camaro a while back and it came with a set of dual valve springs. The engine is out of an 02 WS6 and the heads are 853s but I don't know anything else about the engine. Anyway, I have an MS3 cam and am needing to replace my Comp 918 springs with something that can more safely handle the lift (.609"). It would be nice to know exactly what springs came on this engine but if not I'd at least like to know can they handle my cam. Thus far I haven't found any dual valve springs available that can't handle at least .650" lift so I am feeling like I am in luck. So what do you guys think, they are 1.300" OD (installed) and outer spring is .175-.180" diameter. They are slightly goldish in color. Here are a few pics:

Thanks!

I'm now 99% sure they are PRC duals... the inner spring is the same goldish color as the outer and the locks are normal size, not large like Patriots.
