Unfortunate that the previous owner didn't have this figured out and messed up the paint but hopefully the set up is still functioning properly after swapping this spring. Thanks for the insight and the pictures man.
Ah yea there you go. They're on backwards, I didn't really pay attention to the numbers in your photo. It should be 1005 on the back and 2508 on the fronts. As further assurance, here is my rear spring. You can see the top looks identical in coiling to your "front" springs.

The springs will likely be fine mechanically, but I'd suggest you give it a clean and new coat of paint to prevent rusting.
