Here's a better pic of the retainers. So far all pushrods have good pressure so maybe wrong preload. Either way I have morel 4708 drop ins going in soon just wanna replace that one beehive with the correct dual for now. Any help is appreciated

The only way to match them is to pull one out and measure it - diameters, installed height, and spring rate. You can't tell just by looking, and they generally don't carry a part number.
