Default What dual springs are these?

I know they are double springs and they are on a set of Absolute speed heads I have.
I am pretty sure they are comp springs but dont know what kind.
Anyone?

Well, this isn't looking good.

Edit - Is there anyway to tell exactly what spring it is from like a number on the spring or something? Cuz 978's and 987's ain't gonna cut it for my cam!
