All the springs shown have a foot on the longer leaf, albeit it is a bit smaller on the disassembled mainspring. Both leaves are the same thickness on a 7.65mm spring. For the 1902 9mm spring, the long leaf is approximately 50% thicker than the 7.65mm spring but the short leaf is the same thickness for both calibers.

I will measure the thickness of the spring steel and get back to you.
