I counted the 'zig-zags' on the springs you show above and discovered that one is much shorter than the others... I am sure that some shortening took place with the passage of time, but I would bet that the shorter one was damaged at one time and was repaired by shortening....
So my question of the day is: Did it function with 32 rounds when you tested it after re-assembly?
