So I should replace part #50 to fire 9MM? Why the difference in length between the 2 recoil springs?
No, CAP Black Jack must be confused by your question because he is incorrect this time, and that doesn't happen often... the flat spring (50) is from the early model Luger pistols... the round spring (31) is the correct spring for your P.08

Getting it in the pistol can be a real challenge. Here is a photo tutorial that THOR posted many years ago... it will serve you well.

The difference in length is simply because your original spring is suffering from metal fatigue...

Welcome to the lugerforum.
